4th Grade Extra Project - Jose Limon

Your story this week was a biography of the male dancer and choreographer, Jose Limon.  Think about how you visualized, or pictured in your mind, Jose dancing as you read the story.  Think about some of the descriptive language the text used to describe how he moved on the stage and how it made him feel.  Got it?  Good.

Now, click on the link to read more about Jose Limon and watch him perform one of his most famous dances: Lament for Ignacio Sanchez Mejias.

When you're done, log into Penzu and write a response telling me about what you saw.  Was Jose's dance different than how you'd imagined it when you were reading?  If so, how?  How would you describe this dance to someone who had never seen Jose Limon dance?  Use descriptive language in your response!
