Note

José Limón teaches an advanced dance class on Aug. 21, 1951(tracks 1-6) and a beginning dance class on Aug. 22, 1951 (tracks 7-14), at the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, in Lee, Mass. The recording consists primarily of piano music and Limón's instructions, comments, and counting. The voice of a woman (possibly Carol Lynn) specifying movements and counting can sometimes be heard; she also announces the date at the start of the beginning class.
Sound quality is fair to very poor. The recording is distorted, and there are both occasional short gaps and muffled sections. In general, the sound quality of tracks 1-6 is better than that of tracks 7-14.
