A multicultural, all-female percussive trio based in the rhythms of Tap, Flamenco, and Kathak dance, Soles of Duende make their Joyce debut with their feature-length production, Can We Dance Here? In this riveting performance of rhythmic exchange, Amanda Castro (Tap), Arielle Rosales (Flamenco), and Brinda Guha (Kathak) elevate the joy of true collaboration across disciplines. Rooted in all that their crafts provide them, and in dialogue with live music, this trio invites audiences to pause, witness, and receive three women boldly taking the floor here and now.

Shining a light on Black female tap dancers who overcame the barriers of a white and male dominated field, Dormeshia Tap Collective presents Unsung Sheroes of the 20th Century. The work pays homage to legendary hoofers Cora LaRedd, Mable Lee, Harriet “Quicksand” Browne, Juanita Pitts, and more in a spirited display of rhythm and sound. With live music by a swingin’ band, the cast of Brinae Ali, Starinah Dixon, Josette Wiggan, Quynn Johnson, Kyleigh Vickers, and Dormeshia draw a line from the past to the present.
