October 8 - November 1, 2007

Join Vanderbilt in a dance residency with this hallmark Mexican-American modern company that features nine Vanderbilt dance students in the final main stage event in the heritage work Missa Brevis.

Acclaimed for its dramatic expression, technical mastery and expansive, yet nuanced movement, the Limón Dance Company illustrates the timelessness of José Limón's work and vision. Founded in 1946 by José Limón and Doris Humphrey, the Company is now led by Artistic Director Carla Maxwell, who worked closely with Limón.

The company's repertory, which balances classic works with commissions from contemporary choreographers, is of unparalleled breadth. Don't miss this company's fall stay in Nashville as they reconstruct legacy works.
