Limon Dance Company Legacy
LIMON DANCE COMPANY: THE LIMON DANCE COMPANY WAS FOUNDED IN 1946 BY CHOREOGRAPHER AND MODERN DANCE PIONEER JOSE LIMON. NAMED ONE OF AMERICA'S IRREPLACEABLE DANCE TREASURES BY THE DANCE HERITAGE COALITION, LIMON WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN SHAPING THE CREATION OF AMERICAN MODERN DANCE AND THE ART OF CHOREOGRAPHY AS WE KNOW IT TODAY. OVER THE YEARS, THE COMPANY HAS PRODUCED A BALANCE OF CLASSIC WORKS OF AMERICAN MODERN DANCE WITH NEW COMMISSIONS FROM CONTEMPORARY CHOREOGRAPHERS THAT HAS YIELDED A REPERTORY OF UNPARALLELED BREADTH. TO DATE, THE LEGACY COMPANY IS LED BY ARTISTIC DIRECTOR DANTE PULEIO AND HAS PRODUCED AND PRESENTED 74 CLASSIC WORKS AND MORE THAN 70 CONTEMPORARY COMMISSIONS THROUGHOUT THE U.S. AND ABROAD. IN 2008, AS A TESTAMENT TO THE ORGANIZATION'S LONGEVITY AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FIELD, THE FOUNDATION WAS AWARDED THE NATIONAL MEDAL OF ARTS FOR LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT BY THE WHITE HOUSE.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$922KLimon School Arts Education
