Fall for Dance Gets a Second Chance…

On September 23, 2008, five dance groups performed at NY City Center’s Fall for Dance Festival. The Beijing Dance Company opened the show with a strange yet thought-provoking performance. The dancers wore either a black or white skirt. Their performance symbolically conveyed an underlying conflict between the two sides. The Houston Ballet kept the audience awake as the two dancers gracefully twirled on and off the stage. Richard Siegal’s dancers kept the audience laughing with their humorous dance moves. The Fang Yi- Sheu performer gracefully danced across a black table and created an illusion of floating in mid-air. The Gentlemen of Halau Na Kamalei were definitely the highlight of the evening as they made music with their voices and danced to the rhythm of their clapping hands and stomping feet.
