The rink is open daily through Jan. 15, and you can buy tickets ($13-$25) ahead of time online at unionsquareicerink.com. This year’s festivities include “Arabian Nights: Disney’s Aladdin” themed skating sprees on Wednesdays from 6 to 7:30 p.m. and 8 to 9:30 p.m., with purple rink lighting and music from the “Aladdin” Broadway musical.

All was well through a beautiful prologue, and then the dance arrived. Morris’s dancers appeared like a troupe of Americans broad-stepping to Downton Abbey or heading to the wrong wedding. For anyone who has seen the company perform, Morris’s dance for “Layla and Majnun” was full of his signature open, fearless walking and falling, his lovely clustering and surging. It’s a style that’s quintessentially American in its athleticism, optimism and forthright vigor, all of which is to be celebrated. In addition, Morris has a long track record of tackling lost love, as he did in his interpretation of Purcell’s opera “Dido and Aeneas,” and ennobling broken hearts, which suggests that there was great potential in this collaboration.
