Now that the curtain has gone up once again at so many local venues, our reporting series called Second Act will cover the possible lasting impacts of those changes.If you've got a story for us, please send an email to talktous@wlrnnews.org with the words "Second Act" in the subject line.

Limon Dance company returns to South Florida with performances and master classes for high school students

Christopher Jones

The Limon dancers will team up with Dance NOW! Miami for performances in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

It's customary on milestone birthdays to receive gifts.

But the acclaimed Limon Dance Company is spending part of its 75th-anniversary celebration by giving some South Florida high school students a special treat.

WLRN is committed to providing South Florida with trusted news and information. As the pandemic continues, our mission is as vital as ever. Your support makes it possible. Please donatetoday. Thank you.

For three performances this week, the Limon dancers will team up with Dance NOW! Miami for shows in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

But during the South Florida run, they'll be visiting a high school in each one of those counties to teach a master class.

Limon Company artistic director Dante Puleio says this sort of educational outreach is important to the dancers.

"This is really challenging work. So I think the sooner people have the opportunity to engage with that work, the richer their dance lives will be," says Puleio.

The company's actual 75th-anniversary celebration was set for 2020. But like so many other major events planned for that year, it had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
