Music From The Sole

Music From The Sole is a vibrant tap dance and live music ensemble led by Brazilian choreographer Leonardo Sandoval and composer Gregory Richardson. The company explores tap as both music and movement, drawing on samba, Brazilian funk known as passinho, Afro-Cuban music, jazz, and house. As a Mason Artist-in-Residence, the ensemble will also connect with the community through classes and workshops held in conjunction with the performance.
