About the Foundation

The José Limón Dance Foundation is dedicated to preserving, producing, and furthering the legacy of José Limón, who is among the greatest and most influential dancers and choreographers in the history of American modern dance.  The Foundation, with an annual budget of $1.9M, supports two key activities: the Limón Dance Company and the Limón Institute. Under the artistic direction of Dante Puleio, the Limón Dance Company is reimagining the Limón legacy with novel reconstructions of Limón masterworks accompanied by bold new commissions from leading choreographers. The Institute’s programs reach more than 5,000 students and scholars annually on four continents.
