The Limón Dance Company’s 80th anniversary celebration bridges legacy and innovation through landmark new work commissions and powerful cultural partnerships, solidifying the company as one of the most vital voices within the landscape of American and global dance.

The program kicks off with José Limón’s 1958 Mazurkas, featuring live piano accompaniment and performed in its entirety for the first time since 1964. Born from his journey to Poland after World War II, Limón crafts a world of exuberant movement and rich musicality as a tribute to his dancers and the indomitable vitality he witnessed abroad. 

The program closes with the 2025 commission of Aszure Barton’s Join, created in collaboration with Grammy-nominated composer Ambrose Akinmusire. Together, they take José Limón's vivid, poetic description of a lost Doris Humphrey work and create a new world of spellbinding movement and transcendent storytelling.
