KidFEST OUTDOORS @CMEE: MUSIC FROM THE SOLE: Afro-Brazilian Funk & Dance

Recommended for ages 4+

4:30PM Pre-show workshop
5-6PM Performance

This program will take place outdoors.
RAIN DATE: Thursday, August 4

Music From The Sole is a tap dance and live music company that celebrates tap’s Afro-diasporic roots, particularly its connections to Afro-Brazilian dance and music, and its lineage to forms like house dance and passinho (Brazilian funk). Led by Brazilian choreographer Leonardo Sandoval and by composer Gregory Richardson, their work embraces tap’s unique nature as a blend of sound and movement, incorporating wide-ranging influences like samba, passinho, Afro-Cuban, jazz, and house.

Specially curated for Guild Hall’s KidFEST@CMEE series, Music from the Sole artist directors, Leonardo Sandoval and Gregory Richardson have created a show that introduces our youngest listeners to the rhythms of Brazilian music. Throughout the performance, Music from the Sole will have audience members dancing and responding to rhythmic prompts, embracing the fact that in the realm of percussive dance, like tap, flamenco, body percussion, and more, the dancer is not just a mover, but a musician. Come ready to clap, shout, and move your body!

A ticket to Guild Hall’s KidFEST @CMEE provides entry into a free pre-show workshop beginning a half-hour before curtain. Designed and led by educators at both Guild Hall & CMEE, this workshop will have audience members create their own shakers and rhythm sticks to be used during the performance. Audience members will also receive a take-home kit with activities, listening recommendations, and an event-themed cookie from Citarella to bring the dancing home with them.
