Our guide to dance performances happening this weekend and in the week ahead.

AMERICAN BALLET THEATER at the David H. Koch Theater (Oct. 18, 7:30 p.m.; Oct. 19, 2 and 8 p.m.; Oct. 20, 2 p.m.; Oct. 22-24, 7:30 p.m.; through Oct. 27). The “Balanchine, Bennett & the Beach Boys” program combines Balanchine’s “Apollo,” Jessica Lang’s jazzy new work to Tony Bennett songs and Twyla Tharp’s rollicking “Deuce Coupe” with a duet by Clark Tippet, a company member who died of AIDS in 1992 (Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons, and Oct. 24). For “The Masters” program, Balanchine’s “Theme and Variations” is grouped with Tharp’s new “A Gathering of Ghosts” and Alexei Ratmansky’s fresh, recent ballet, “The Seasons” (Saturday evening and Tuesday). Wednesday’s “The New Romantics” program includes another piece by Lang along with works by Ballet Theater’s Gemma Bond, a member of the corps, and James Whiteside, a principal dancer.

KAROLE ARMITAGE at New York Live Arts (Oct. 23, 7:30 p.m.; through Oct. 26). The 15th-century Noh play “Nonomiya,” which tells of a ghost who returns to haunt her former lover, inspired Armitage’s “You Took a Part of Me,” which comes to New York Live Arts after a stint at Japan Society in April. Armitage is known for her sharp application of ballet technique; here, to music by Reiko Yamada, she also smooths and softens it, evoking Japanese calligraphy. Armitage draws from Noh conventions in her staging as well, including a traditional mirror room that connects to the stage through a small bridge.
