Celebrate 75 years of Limón Dance Company! Learn how legendary dancer and choreographer, José Limón, impacted the modern dance world in a program that honors his legacy as a dance icon and Mexican-American. The program includes excerpts from the Northrop Centennial Commission, Migrant Mother by Raúl Tamez, as well as a reimagination of Limón's first major solo, Danzas Mexicanas. The Limón modern dance classic Psalm (featuring student dancers from UMN’s Dance Department) will include the original score not heard in decades.
“Limón’s heroic style felt fresh with possibilities.” —The New York Times
“The exquisite choreography and the dancers' technical brilliance confers a complete depiction of Limon's depth of humanity.” —Eye on Dance
