I'm having a hard time deciding. I really like them all, but I think Chout is the weakest of the bunch, but that's just my opinion. I haven't quite made a connection with Romeo & Juliet for some reason. Cinderella is also one I haven't quite made any kind of connection with. I think I'll go with On the Dneiper, Le pas d'acier, and The Prodigal Son. These are the ones I connected with almost immediately. I'm starting to really enjoy The Stone Flower though, so this ballet alone is keeping me from casting my final votes.

Ala & Lolli? Trapeze? ;)

Sorry, I don't like the ballets enough to vote here.
