Limón Dance Company 2018 at The Joyce

José Limón

José Limón (Mexican, 1908 – 1972) was born in Culiacán, Mexico, a city on Mexico’s west coast  just across the Gulf of California from Cabo San Lucas at the tip of Baja. He came to New York in 1928 to study design, but fell out of art into the New York dance world that spawned Modern Dance as we know it today.

Limón performed a little on Broadway and quickly moved into choreography. A fellowship at Bennington College in Vermont helped him develop as a choreographer.


Limón Dance Company

Limón founded the Limón Dance Company in 1946 with Doris Humphrey as artistic director.

Limón created his most famous work, The Moors Pavane based on Shakespeare’s Othello in 1949. It remains in repertory at American Ballet Theatre.
