Dance of biblical proportions
Limón classic is centerpiece of anniversary performance

Choreographer Sandra Organ agrees with Ecclesiastes 3: There is a time to dance.

That's why she selected the late José Limón's 1956 masterwork based on these famous Bible passages as the centerpiece of her upcoming 10th anniversary performance.

There Is a Time begins and ends with the performers holding hands in a circle — a perfect metaphor for a decade of dance for this small but dedicated company.

Organ founded the Sandra Organ Dance Company in 1998 shortly after leaving her post as a soloist with Houston Ballet, where she was the first African-American in the company. Since then, she has created work around themes of black history, and this concert also will feature a retrospective of selected works.
