Limón Leaps Into Spring!

The Limón Dance Company was busy this spring dancing their way across the Unites States

and Europe.  The season kicked-off in February with a successful

five city tour to sunny Florida with stops in Hollywood, Key West, Lakeland, Lake Worth, and Melbourne.  In March, the Company headed to Italy for performances in Reggio Calabria, Vicenza, Vittorio Veneto, Casal Maggiore, and Torino, which was followed by sold out performances in Hanover and Munich, Germany for Ballet Week 2005.  The Company then toured to four cities in Kansas, California, and Alaska which culminated with our return to Germany to perform at the Oldenburg Festival. Check out the side bar for our upcoming performances.
