MONTCLAIR, N.J. — Another long-established choreographer, forced to shut down his company because of shifts in funding, might have made an angry work, or an I’ll-show-them display of choreographic fireworks. But “Shine On,” the final piece that Richard Alston made for his namesake troupe, is no tempest. It’s well-mannered, faithful to its music, beautifully constructed and emotionally subdued: a quiet statement of old-fashioned artistic values.

And that’s the thrust of the whole program here at Peak Performances. The last hurrah of the Richard Alston Dance Company, an institution founded in 1994 that has lost its principal source of financing, will come in March in its hometown, London. But this run in Montclair is its final United States appearance. In saying adieu, it stays in character.
