Thank you to Front Row Reviewers Utah for the shoutout to our UU School of Dance students who performed in the Limón Dance Company concert at on September 24th!

“The Psalmists demonstrate an impressive command of Limón’s signature use of breath, weight, and suspension. Emma Abell, Emilie Bishop, Caitlyn Camchong, Isabella DeCandido, Maya Dousteyssier, Leila Grider, Libby Hansen, Hannah Kiers, Zoe Lammers, Clara Lawrence, Vivian Matkowski, Freya Schultz, and Lyndsey Wilmes bring remarkable conviction to the movement, revealing the work’s driving passion and collective strength. The ferocity is breathtaking.”

“Designing for dance is unique because there’s rarely a script. You’re collaborating with choreographers, listening to abstract adjectives, and synthesizing undeveloped ideas into physical garments. I love combining their vision with my own design aesthetics.”

Our very own Christopher Larson, School of Dance Costume Shop Manager and Resident Designer, was featured in Humans of the U! Read the full profile at the link in our bio.
