Music from the Sole: Body Percussion

Join Leo in this online workshop where he will teach Brazilian body percussion combinations and polyrhythms.

​Brazilian tap dancer Leonardo Sandoval has established a reputation in the tap world and beyond for his musicality, and for adding his own Brazilian flavor to tap. An artist-in-residence at the National Dance Institute and the American Tap Dance Foundation, and a core member of Dorrance Dance, he is in demand as a choreographer, dancer, jazz musician, and educator, touring across the United States and abroad. Leo has had his work, including several collaborations with composer Gregory Richardson, presented at venues including the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, The Yard, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the National Folk Festival, Battery Dance Festival, and Chicago Human Rhythm Project. A true dancer-musician, Leo’s artistry is rooted in America’s great jazz and tap dance heritage and in Brazil’s rich rhythmic and musical forms, with additional influences from contemporary and urban dances.
