Chicago-based RE|dance group is in love with love in this heartfelt work choreographed by Michael Estanich. Romance is the prime subject but he knows we humans have other passions as well, like cake and Netflix binges. The choreography, performed by nine women in gowns (plus Estanich, who occasionally morphs into a faithful dog), is a lively blend of classical elegance and modern-day anxiety. It's as if Jane Austen and Nora Ephron teamed up to create a rom-com for dancers who like to occasionally burst into song. (8:30 p.m. Fri.-Sat., 1 p.m. Sun., 7 p.m. Mon., Southern Theater, 1420 Washington Av. S., Mpls.)
