The Second Detail is early 90s Forsythe and is unforgiving choreography. Not only is it technically difficult and fast, but a tilt of the head or shoulder angle different from the rest and the entire package looks off. Packed with gymnastic-style athleticism, there were legs flown wide open, as the choreography requires, but without the cool control that gives Forsythean work its real punch.

Replacing Whitney Jensen on opening night in the role of the Tall Girl, Dusty Button was excellent, her perfect Balanchine body (long limbs, small head, long neck) ideal for the part.
