If Rudolf Nureyev had had a little more rock`n’ roll (of the `96 Tears” variety) in his hips and wore more colorful costumes, he might have qualified for Ballet Hispanico, the 30-year-old New York City-based dance company that mixes grace and sensuality, history and hipness. Ballet Hispanico makes its Chicago debut at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Auditorium Theatre, 50 E. Congress Parkway. Ticket: $20-$48. 312-902-1500.
