From hip-hop to ballet, a cornucopia

Fall looms as a dance bonanza. Twyla Tharp premiering a new work at Hubbard Street, the Joffrey Ballet unveiling a new full-length and Robert La Fosse returning after too long an absence — and that's all just in the latter half of one week in October.

Here's a sample from a crowded, fertile calendar.

The Joffrey Ballet, 'Don Quixote'
