Choreographer and dancer José Limón is credited with creating one of the world’s most important and enduring dance legacies— an art form responsible for the creation, growth, and support of modern dance in this country.  Numerous honors have been bestowed upon both Limón and the Company he founded in 1946, including the White House’s 2008 National Medal of Arts for Lifetime Achievement. José Limón immigrated to the United States in 1918 and is considered one of Mexico’s greatest artistic exports, making him a role model for Latino communities throughout North America. His story is a powerful vehicle for reaching young people today. Limón’s rich repertory has been performed by dance companies, colleges, and conservatories throughout the US and abroad.
