That split-second in time shows off the energy and passion that is his signature! Tracy A. Frederickson Norton, MA My favorite My Favorite is an independent synthpop band from Long Island, New York.

Fairy tales may be written or told for the amusement of children or may have a more sophisticated narrative containing supernatural or obviously improbable events, scenes, and personages mystique. She emanates the strength and power needed to move lightly and wistfully. That cover inspired me then to take up ballet again as a teenager, and it inspires me now as an adult ballet student. Heather J. Brown Seattle, WA I love the cover with Ashley Bouder. It was the reason I subscribed to the magazine. She is my all-time favorite dancer and an inspiration. Karalyn Via e-mail I like the 1936 Martha Graham cover because it captures the pioneering energy and drive of early modern dancers as they ignited a dance revolution. Elizabeth McPherson New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of , NY I love the April issue from 1995 of Katherine Linden (previous page). Pictures of dancers aren't usually taken at this angle, and the viewer gets to see the dancer from behind the scenes.

Until the night George Clooney opened the 2005 NY Film Festival, the most gorgeous sight I had ever seen at Lincoln Center was Peter Martins in a sailor suit. Patricia Contino Teaneck, NJ My favorite is Baryshnikov from Oct. 1974. His contribution to the dance world is remarkable. During his career he brought a new audience to ballet, became a household name, and inspired many to take up dance. On top of being one of the most famous dancers ever, he has continued to be devoted to the art form. His dedication and ability to inspire people is truly beautiful. Linda Rene Cooper, San Diego, CA My first choice is Aug. 1960, with Niels Bjorn Larsen preparing for his role as the Old Wizard in Petrouchka and a little girl watching him. It encompasses the many aspects and drama of dance. I also love the cover of Isadora Duncan (July 1977), who was the beginning of all modern dance and who influenced both ballet and modern so greatly.
