For those asking about Erzsebet Foldi, apparently this same discussion came up on another site a couple of years ago. This was posted:
"The one thing I know about Erzsebet Foldi is that she went on to dance in the 1980s with the American Ballet Theatre (during the period that Mikhail Baryshnikov was artistic director), and then was a member of Twyla Tharp's company. Don't know what she's been up to since. The public portion of a career in dance is often pretty short due to all the physical wear and tear, but dancers often stay in the game by coming choreographers or teachers.
If anyone wants to try to get an inquiry to Erzsebet as to what she's been up to: Twyla Tharp's website has a directory of everyone who's ever danced in her company. They don't provide direct email addresses to the alumni of the troupe, but they will forward messages through their office when possible.
Go to
http://www.twylatharp.org/ttd3.shtml and click on the link for 1980-1988. This will lead you to a list of all the dancers who joined the company during that period. A click on Foldi's name will open an email message with her name in the subject line. Send it off to the Tharp office and they will try to forward it. Don't know how reliable this is, but it might be worth a try if you're Desperately Seeking Erzsebet."
I also saw an archived review of the Twyla Tharp Dance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in February '87 that specifically mentioned Ms. Foldi's performance in the company.
She was mentioned again in a review of a piece performed by The Second Avenue Dance Company which consisted of dance majors in their final year at the Tisch School of the Arts of New York University. This was in April, '89.
