Limón Repertory Classes

Learn the mater works of José Limón

The dance technique and repertory of Limón focuses on the movement of breath through the body, the dynamic use of weight in each body part and the fluid succession of one movement into the next.

The incomparable Kurt Doulgas, whose first piece premiered at Festival Ballet Providence last season, adds yet another highly anticipated premiere to the program with Sojourn, which magically marries gravity with weightlessness.
