“Limón’s heroic style felt fresh with possibilities.” — The New York Times

“[Akram Khan’s] choreography is flawless, gutsy and a joy to behold.” — Time Out, Sydney

“In this season of worldwide pain, Limón’s work is balm and anchor. Limón’s work is heroic; the legacy of his movement and musicality continues to honor him.” — Dance View Times

“The dance of Limón is for always … a spectacle of the highest artistic level … still the most unique and original American dance company.” — II Messaggero, Rome, Italy

“The most welcome element of the program that the Limón Dance Company is presenting … is the way the group dances are performed … They perform with a mixture of honest-to-goodness objectivity and what seems like a certain private pleasure.” — The New York Times

“The choreography of the great José Limón, a Mexican immigrant, with its clean lines, those powerful curved arms and, always, the deep emotional content, is one of our national treasures.” — Reading Eagle

“‘Missa Brevis’ is not a document about war nor a mass in an ecclesiastic sense, but is a capturing of the human spirit in its own terms and its relevance embraces not only external cataclysms like war, but every subjective touching by the individual of that universal, epic anguish by which his soul is stripped and he stands cleansed beyond suffering.” — The New York Times

“‘The Moor's Pavane’ is one of Limón's most critically acclaimed pieces ... one would find it hard to believe that this Shakespearian variation could continue to be relevant 70 years later. And yet, with tones of deception, chaos, mistrust and injustice, suddenly ‘The Moor's Pavane’ becomes eerily appropriate and suited to this year.” — Eye On Dance
