Rosie Herrera Dance Theater (Friday) Ms. Herrera’s eclectic bio jumps from the nightclubs of Little Havana, where she worked as a cabaret dancer, to Miami’s New World School of the Arts, a top-notch conservatory where she earned a B.F.A. in dance. (Somewhere along the way, she also trained as a classical opera singer.) She unleashes those influences in “Dining Alone,” a dance-theater work that mines the metaphorical potential of food and reveals Ms. Herrera’s appetite for dark humor. At 7:30 p.m., Baryshnikov Arts Center, 450 West 37th Street, Manhattan, (866) 811-4111; sold out. (Burke)
Valentina Kozlova Dance Conservatory (Saturday) The annual concert of this well-regarded dance school is notable for featuring its professional-level award-winning students. This year they are joined by the American Ballet Theater soloists Craig Salstein and Alexandre Hammoudi in a program that includes excerpts from 19th-century classics like “Raymonda,” “The Flames of Paris” and “Le Corsaire,” as well as contemporary works. At 7 p.m., Symphony Space, 2537 Broadway, at 95th Street, (212) 864-5400; $35, $25 for children and 65+. (Sulcas)
