Limón Dance Company turns 80 this season and brings two pieces to Boston: José Limón's Mazurkas, set to Chopin, and a new work by Akram Khan that reimagines Limón's The Moor's Pavane.
It's Othello, retold for today's dancers and today's outsiders, by two choreographers who have spent their careers telling immigrant stories.
FEB 12 & 13 at Boston Arts Academy Theater
Comment OTHELLO and we'll DM you the ticket link. No handkerchiefs were harmed 🎶

GIVING TUESDAY // This Friday will be 50 years since the passing of our Co-Founder, José Limón.
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.
José Limón’s story is a powerful vehicle for reaching young people today. Immigrating to the United States from Mexico in 1918, Limón is considered one of Mexico’s greatest artistic exports and a role model for Latinx communities throughout the United States.
The José Limón Dance Foundation is exceptionally grateful for our supporters whose contributions sustain our artistic and educational endeavors. Please help us continue to advance Limón legacy and his humanistic approach to movement and theater through performance, creation, preservation and education by donating today. #GivingTuesday

AKRAM KHAN x LIMÓN // The Limón Dance Company embarks on its largest choreographic commission to date in celebration of its 80th Anniversary season, a reimagining of José Limón’s The Moor’s Pavane by Akram Khan. Developed over a series of ten weeks in fall of 2026 and January 2027, Khan will reenvision a one-act version of Limón’s choreographic masterpiece.
Northrop at the University of Minnesota / @northropumn is the lead commissioner on the project with additional co-commissioning and development provided by Works & Process (in partnership with The Campus at Marlboro Music and Guggenheim New York). Early tour venues include: onStage at Connecticut College, Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at Fairfield University, and Vivo Performing Arts (formerly Celebrity Series of Boston).
In addition to our co-commissioning partners, this work is supported in part by the Limón Innovation Fund Partners:
Jody and John Arnhold | Arnhold Foundation; Howard Gilman Foundation; Christopher Jones & Deb McAlister; Peter Lyons; Andrés Mata; and Karyn & Ivan Sacks.
Additional support is provided by The O’Donnell-Green Music & Dance Foundation.

From NYPL’s ‘José Limón: The Mestizo as Ambassador: Limón and Conflict’ // In a section from José Limón and May O’Donnell’s ‘On American Themes’ titled ‘War Lyrics’, Limón danced the role of The Soldier and O’Donnell danced three distinct parts; The Nurse, The Wife and The Prostitute. When Limón and O’Donnell parted ways, she kept the piece in her active repertory without the male part and renamed the work ‘Three Women.’ Performed against the backdrop of World War II, On American Themes’ exploration of immigration, industry and war captures a specific moment in history, but War Lyrics, which articulates the experience of war from the experience of the women left behind, casts a longer shadow.
Limón’s letters to his wife, Pauline Lawrence, during his time in the army reflect resignation and frustration in equal measure. He was very concerned about maintaining his conditioning, technique and strength without access to regular classes and performance. In a letter from 1943 he writes, “The cold viciousness of the human species has nearly robbed me of all hope of ever being an artist again. I say almost - I know that it won’t die utterly, even with all this stupid madness which seems so overwhelming. But God knows when it will end and where will my instrument be by then?” Limón did, however, manage to find his way into musical revues and plays staged by the army, painting scenery, building sets and, on occasion, choreographing the performances from ‘Deliver the Goods’ (1944) and ‘Song of the Medics’ (1944).
📸 José Limón in ‘Deliver the Goods, photographer unknown, c. 1944; José Limón & May O’Donnell in ‘War Lyrics’ c. 1940; José Limón in uniform by Gerta Petrich c. 1943.
We love sharing pieces of José’s history. And today, we also remember and pay tribute to all veterans who have served.

Lar Lubovitch’s ‘Recordare’ commissioned by the Limón Dance Company in 2005 is a “…deeply theatrical, boisterous, and touching tribute to José Limón’s Mexican heritage. Lubovitch drew structural and visual concepts directly from a blend of ancient Aztec myths and Catholic traditions, specifically channeling the imagery and mood of El Día de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead)…”
We went back into our archives to find this clip of the company performing ‘Recordare’ at the Joyce Theater on November 14, 2006.

The past 2.5 weeks have been an extraordinary journey of discovery, reflection, and growth as I’ve had the profound privilege of assisting Akram Khan in his new creation for the Limón Dance Company.
Deeply grateful for Akram’s trust, generosity, and the opportunity to witness and support his extraordinary creative vision. His artistry continues to challenge and inspire me to listen more deeply, remain curious, and expand my understanding of movement, storytelling, and our shared humanity.
To the remarkable Limón dancers, thank you for welcoming me with open arms. Your vulnerability, curiosity, and willingness to explore the unknown bring such beauty and individuality to this creation.
A heartfelt thank you to Dante for bringing Akram’s artistic world to these extraordinary dancers and making space for such meaningful exploration.
Beyond the movement, it’s the human connections, shared discoveries, and trust that I will carry with me most.
Leaving inspired, humbled, and immensely grateful. I cannot wait to return in the new year and continue this beautiful journey together. ❤️
