5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful book - mostly for dancers,
By Annette Gaarden "Annette Gaarden" (Copenhagen) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Illustrated Dance Technique of Jose Limon (Paperback)
This book is a true expirience, but it is definately not for beginners in dance.I am a former dancer, now choreographer.
The book gives you a more than well insight in Jose Limons work and working-methods, and contains wonderful pictures. You get facinated and humble the more you know about Jose Limon. The examples of exercises in the book is a valuable part of it. They are carefully written down, so you can follow them. If you can read notation there is a unique part with short pieces of choreographies. I really enjoyed to read the book. Limons work comes even more alive and shows his uniqe technique. So if you are a dancer or have a good basic in dance, the book is highly recommed. It is one of those books you just want to add to your collection.

Jose Limon's work comes alive,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Illustrated Dance Technique of Jose Limon (Paperback)
This book really shows the incredible skill of Jose Limon. I am a dancer and I really enjoyed this book because it clearly showed the technique of Jose Limon. I would suggest this book to any dancer because it really gives you new perspective on some types of movement. This book really made Limon's technique and movement come alive.
