Music From The Sole is an evening-length performance that blurs the line between concert dance and live band. Brazilian tap dancer and choreographer Leonardo Sandoval and composer and bassist Gregory Richardson lead an eight-piece ensemble in a live show that draws heavily from Brazilian, Jazz, Soul, House dance, and Afro-Cuban styles.
Outreach and educational activities are central to the continuous development of this work, with workshops, classes, educational performances, and lecture-demonstrations focusing on body percussion, Brazilian rhythms, and tap dance and its history. These have been presented at the National Dance Institute, Lincoln Center Educations, as well as communities and performing arts centers across the US.
