Top 2012 Bay Area dance performances

San Francisco Ballet season (Jan. 26-May 7, War Memorial Opera House, S.F.) Drama and romance converge throughout the San Francisco Ballet season, which kicks off with John Cranko's ravishing "Onegin," based on the Pushkin poem. Beyond the returning classics like "Raymonda," "Romeo and Juliet" and "Don Quixote," SFB's repertory programs promise tantalizing premieres from Mark Morris, Edwaard Liang and Ashley Page as well as Yuri Possokhov's latest - a take on "Francesca da Rimini" - and a long-overdue revival of Balanchine's delightful "Scotch Symphony."
