My thoughts about Jose Limon are that he has been an influential part of the timeline of Modern Dance. he has brought about a great technique that incorporated release and freedom. I really enjoy dancing his technique. His life path, starting as an artist, then joining the army, and finally starting his own company is inspiring. I really have enjoyed researching his life and the history of him.

After reading your blog I had another reaffirmation that it is necessary to keep the earliest of modern dances with us by setting them on dancers and performing them for the public. They are appreciated no matter how many new shows of dance moms air. Maybe someone in Hollywood should create a competitive dance show in the style and technique of modern dances great pioneers like Limon?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Samia, keeping a historical account of modern dances by resetting them is what's going to keep our art form alive and grounded. It's unfortunate that the public doesn't have a greater apprecition for an art form that would truely speak to their inner thoughts and instead would rather see flashy things that have little to no significance.
