Mission and programs · 2024

• LIMON DANCE COMPANY: THE LIMON DANCE COMPANY WAS FOUNDED IN 1946 BY CHOREOGRAPHER AND MODERN DANCE PIONEER JOSE LIMON. NAMED ONE OF AMERICA'S IRREPLACEABLE DANCE TREASURES BY THE DANCE HERITAGE COALITION, LIMON WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN SHAPING THE CREATION OF AMERICAN MODERN DANCE AND THE ART OF CHOREOGRAPHY AS WE KNOW IT TODAY. OVER THE YEARS, THE COMPANY HAS PRODUCED A BALANCE OF CLASSIC WORKS OF AMERICAN MODERN DANCE WITH NEW COMMISSIONS FROM CONTEMPORARY CHOREOGRAPHERS THAT HAS YIELDED A REPERTORY OF UNPARALLELED BREADTH. TO DATE, THE LEGACY COMPANY IS LED BY ARTISTIC DIRECTOR DANTE PULEIO AND HAS PRODUCED AND PRESENTED 74 CLASSIC WORKS AND MORE THAN 70 CONTEMPORARY COMMISSIONS THROUGHOUT THE U.S. AND ABROAD. IN 2008, AS A TESTAMENT TO THE ORGANIZATION'S LONGEVITY AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FIELD, THE FOUNDATION WAS AWARDED THE NATIONAL MEDAL OF ARTS FOR LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT BY THE WHITE HOUSE.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
