José Limón

José Arcadio Limón (January 12, 1908 – December 2, 1972) was a pioneer in the field of modern dance and choreography. In 1928, at age 20, he moved to New York City where he studied under Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman. In 1946, Limón founded the José Limón Dance Company. His most famous work is called ''The Moor's Pavane'' (1949), based on Shakespeare's Othello.
==Early career==
José Arcadio Limón was born January 12, 1908 in Culiacán, Mexico, the eldest of twelve children. In 1915, his family moved to Los Angeles, California. After graduating from Lincoln High School, Limón attended UCLA as an art major. He moved to New York City in 1928 to study at the New York School of Design. In 1929, he was inspired to dance after attending one of Harald Kreutzberg and Yvonne Georgi's performances.
Limón enrolled in the Humphrey-Weidman school later that year and, just a year later, performed on Broadway. Later in 1930, Limón choreographed his last dance, “Etude in D Minor”, a duet with Letitia Ide. In addition to his the duet partner, Limón recruited schoolmates Eleanor King and Ernestine Stodelle to form "The Little Group". From 1932 to 1933, Limón made two more broadway appearances in the musical revue ''Americana'' and Irving Berlin's ''As Thousands Cheer'', choreographed by Charles Weidman. Limón also tried his hand at choreography this year at Broadway's New Amsterdam Theatre. Limón made several more appearances throughout the next few years in shows such as Humphrey's ''New Dance'', ''Theatre Piece'', ''With my Red Fires'', and Weidman's ''Quest''. In 1937, he was selected as one of the first Bennington Fellows. At the Bennington Festival at Mill College in 1939, Limón created his first major choreographic work, titled ''Danzas Mexicanas''. After five years, however, Limón would return to Broadway to star as a featured dancer in ''Keep Off the Grass'' under the choreographer George Balanchine.

In 1941, Limón left the Humphrey-Weidman company to work with May O'Donnell. They co-choreographed several pieces together, such as “War Lyrics” and “Curtain Riser”. During this time, Limón met Pauline Lawrence, who he would later marry on October 3, 1942. The partnership with O'Donnell dissolved the following year, and Limón created for a program at Humphrey-Weidman.
In 1943, Limón's made his final appearance on Broadway with Balanchine's ''Rosalinda'', a piece he performed with Mary Ellen Moylan. He spent the rest of that year creating dances on American and folk themes at the Studio Theatre before being drafted into the Army in April 1943. During this time, he collaborated with composers Frank Loesser and Alex North, choreographing several works for the U.S. Army Special Services. The most well-known among these is ''Concerto Grosso''.
