Works & Process At The Guggenheim: Music From The Sole

Led by Brazilian choreographer Leonardo Sandoval and composer Gregory Richardson, Music From The Sole blend tap dance and live music to explore the connections between tap and the African diaspora. Their work incorporates wide-ranging influences that include Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Cuban dance and music, jazz, soul, house, and rock. The company’s recent credits include appearances at Works & Process at the Guggenheim, Jacob’s Pillow, Lincoln Center, The Yard, Kaatsbaan, Vail Dance Festival, and 92NY. Committed to community engagement, they bring not just performances but also workshops, lessons, and discussions focusing on Brazilian rhythms, body percussion, and the history of tap dance to schools, hospitals, prisons, parks, and community centers.
