“Petrichor,’’ a world premiere for eight women, is danced to Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos’s “String Quartet No. 2,’’ for violin, viola, and cello. The title describes the scent arising after a rain, especially on dry ground. It’s apropos, because the dancers seem to dance not on but between the notes, as if dodging raindrops.
