Biography

The José Limón Dance Foundation, which was incorporated in 1968, exists today to support the Limón Dance Company, a modern dance repertory company, and the Limón Institute, the documentation and educational arm of the Foundation. The José Limón Dance Company was founded in 1946 and fostered from its beginnings a repertory concept of dance presentation. In his lifetime, company founder, José Limón (1908-1972), was recognized as one of the most influential male dancers of his generation and as an important pioneering choreographer. Today many of his works are considered masterpieces. Since Limón's death, the company's mission has been the creation of a modern dance repertory, with Limón works at its core, surrounded and enhanced by other dances expressing a similar humanistic point of view and theatrical base. In 1986, the company officially adopted the name, Limón Dance Company, to underscore its position as a repertory company; it has produced over fifty works by several different choreographers. The Limón Institute was established in 1985 to oversee the licensing of Limón's works and to offer classes in Limón technique through annual workshops and summer residencies. In addition, it has begun the comprehensive documentation of Limón's dances, techniques and writings.
