Think the balletยs ยa dragย? Well, when Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo take the stage today, youยll be at least half right. The Trocks are a legion of male dancers disguised as female ballerinas. Sure, theyยll leave you rapt from their performances en pointe, of everything from Act II of Swan Lake to the Majisimas from El Cid, but theyยll do so with a wig and a wink. Just think of them as the Harlem Globetrotters of ballet. In tights. 8 p.m. Jones Hall, 615 Louisiana. For information, call 713-227-4772 or visit www.spahouston.org. $22 to $62.
