Ruth Tabor writes in the El Paso Times on Susanna Reich's new children's book about choreographer and Limón Dance Company founder, José Limón. The book, José! Born to Dance: the Story of Jose Limon is available at Amazon.com.
"Brava! to Reich," Tabor writes, "For writing this lyrical story about a boy born in Culicacán, Mexico, in 1908, who made it to the top of the international dance world through perseverance and hard work."
You can read about author Susanna Reich on her web site, which includes a list of José! Born to Dance events and signings.
The delightful illustrations are by acclaimed artist Raul Colon. Colon discusses the surprising benefits of having chronic asthma as a child and how he once got a job accidentally by walking into the wrong location for an interview. Read his Houghton Mifflin interview.
The Limón Dance Company celebrates its 60th anniversary with a two-performance run at the Tsai Performance Center October 29 and 30 to open the 2005-2006 Dance Series. The Dance Series is a co-presentation of Bank of America Celebrity Series and The Wang Center for the Performing Arts.
