Monte Carlo's all-male dance troupe, known as the Trocks (who take stage names like Ida Nevasayaneva and Minnie Van Driver), love classical ballet, but this is still exquisite parody. The performance includes their signature work, Act II from Swan Lake, as well as modern pieces. They show a little more chest hair than the average ballerina, but they dance en pointe with the finest. Tickets $20-$125.
