LIMÓN DANCE COMPANY’S DEBUT PERFORMANCES IN BEIJING, CHINA, DECEMBER 2009.
The Limón Dance Company will appear at the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, China, December 3-7, presenting four performances – two different programs, featuring live music performed by the Chinese Musical Conservatory.

The Moor’s Pavane Limón/Purcell
There is a Time Limón/Norman Dello Joio

The excited Company will find some time for sightseeing during their November 28-December 7 trip – tours to the Badaling Great Wall, the Ming Tombs, and the Forbidden City.
