Abundance For balletomanes, the annual Fall for Dance Festival has always been an embarrassment of riches. And the 10th-anniversary season is no exception, featuring 20 international dance companies at New York City Center. There’s something for everyone in the mix, including American Ballet Theatre’s classic “The Moor’s Pavane” (right, Sept. 30-Oct. 1), choreographed by José Limón to music by Henry Purcell and based on Shakespeare’s Othello. As a bonus this year, two free evenings of terpsichorean artistry in Central Park raise the curtain on the main festival. » The Delacorte Theater in Central Park, Sept. 16-17 (rain date Sept. 18); New York City Center, 131 W. 55th St., 212.581.1212, Sept. 25-Oct. 5
