Dance Intensive
Train With Limón
Summer 2025
The moment you begin to move you stand revealed for what you are
- José Limón
This summer, the Dancer Intensive will dive deep with expert teaching, creative labs, and the chance to take part in the creation of a new work facilitated by Company dancers.
In-person artistic development with world renowned members of the Limón Dance Company and artistic director who will guide you through a curated collection of generation-defining repertory.
This is an opportunity to investigate how your body responds to gravity and how the Humphrey / Weidman / Limón principles can challenge your own practice. This immersive process will invite you to consider your perspective and further your artistry through risk, breath, momentum, form and intention.
Spend your week building enduring relationships with the Limón Family: current & former company members, Dante, the artistic director and other guests to explore how this work can broaden your artistic horizons and further your training and experience.
​
​Scholarship Applications are open until March 1. Check out the updated schedule below!
