Our Feet Speak the Rhythms of Our Hearts

Description

Six of the Bay Area’s leading companies preserving significant North and South American and Spanish cultures through performance will take the Cowell Theater stage February 11 and 12 when Tango & More Argentine Dance and World Arts West present the premiere of Our Feet Speak the Rhythms of Our Hearts in partnership with the Fort Mason Presents series.

This new dance production is directed by Argentine dance star Pampa Cortés and highlights the many forms of rhythmic footwork found in various dance cultures of North and South America and Spain. The featured dance companies are La Tania (Spain), Ensambles Ballet Folklórico de San Francisco (Mexico), Valverde Dance (Peru), Barbary Coast Cloggers (USA), Ballet Pampa Argentina and Tango del Momento de Pampa Cortés (Argentina).

From the dramatic flair of flamenco, the flashing legs of the Argentine tango, the playful courtship dances of Peru, the African roots of Mexico, the bravado of the gauchos, to the cheerful camaraderie of California miners, the audience will experience a journey through the fancy footwork of multiple cultures across the Americas.

This program is the first in the Fort Mason Presents Inaugural Season, which is funded in part by Grants for the Arts.
