Dear Postcards from New York Reader,
To the beat of cheery, sun-drenched music in Twyla Tharp's "Deuce Coupe" (inspired by the Beach Boys) these brightly clad dancers dazzled a sold-out standing room only crowd at the New York City Center last Wednesday evening to kick off the annual Fall for Dance Festival.
This not to be missed, once a year event features a vast and exciting mix of some of the world's best known, and little known dancers, dance companies and choreographers. Best of all, the tickets are offered at the amazing price of $10 for every seat in the house!
Fall for Dance is a rare opportunity to see, be inspired and delighted while experiencing a wide and varied range of dance forms; From classical ballet (Kirov, New York City and the Royal Ballet of Flanders), modern dance (Paul Taylor, Juilliard, Armitage Gone), tango and Latin (Ballet Hispanico and Mariela Fanganillo), tap (10 Foot 5), African (Kyle Abraham and Urban Bush Women) and Hip-Hop (Via Katlehong and Compagnie Kafig), there is something for every dance enthusiast.
Every year sees new additions to the already exploding number of dance companies throughout the country and the world. It has become impossible to stay on top of the latest choreography, the newest dancers and developments in this ever-evolving art form.
Seize the moment; you have a choice of 28 companies performing through October 6. Discover which styles of dance and which companies you enjoy most; Then mark your calendar to see how much more intriguing they are when they return for their season performances at the Joyce Theatre, City Center, Juilliard and Lincoln Center.

At $10 a ticket, there is no better way to introduce youngsters to the "art" of dance. If they become restless, or don't like it, you will not feel quite so bad about leaving early.
