José Limón Dance Company: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About José Limón Dance Company

The José Limón Dance Company carries forward the repertory and teaching methods developed by José Arcadio Limón, the Mexican-born modern dance artist who shaped the Limón technique in the mid-20th century. Founded in the 1940s, the ensemble has continued under the José Limón Foundation, created to safeguard the works and the pedagogy. In New York City, the company brings that legacy into public space, including outdoor appearances at Riverside Park for Harlem Moves. Its performances favor weight, breath, and musical phrasing over decorative display.
