Limón-Technique
you have the capacity to dance as long as you want

„The technique, style, and philosophy of the Limón class include the principles of fall and rebound: the challenge of yielding to and resisting gravity, weight, suspension, successive movement and isolation as well as alignment. Limón teaches the use of space, music and communication. Limón equips a dancer with an intelligent body and the tools to communicate thoughts, whether emotionally driven or not.“
As Risa Steinberg is asking the dancers to be responsible artists at all times, they will realize that music, dynamics and phrasing are essential parts of their art form.
