American dance icons honoured with U.S. postal stamps

>> by Naomi Brand
Four influential American choreographers will appear on a series of stamps issued by the U.S. Postal Service in 2012. The set includes Isadora Duncan, José Limón, Katherine Dunham and Bob Fosse. The stamps were designed by art director Ethel Kessler and illustrated by James McMullan. A large number of Canadian dancers throughout the twentieth-century studied or worked with Limón, Dunham and Fosse. The current Limón company includes Canadians Kristen Foote and Belinda McGuire, both from the Greater Toronto Area.
