Music From The Sole And Sonia Olla & Ismael Fernandez

Join us for an evening of percussive dance as we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the CUNY Dance Initiative with two alums of this ground-breaking residency program. 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). Sonia Olla & Ismael Fernández are known for bridging the culture of traditional Flamenco dance with contemporary global influences. Their work has graced the stages of flamenco festivals around the world, as well as on tours with pop icons Ricky Martin and Madonna. Since its launch in 2014, the CUNY Dance Initiative has facilitated 220 creative residencies with New York City choreographers and dance companies at 13 CUNY colleges in all five boroughs.
