About the Project
Cuba goes Tap is a project conceived and directed by Keyla Orozco, featuring acclaimed Austrian-American Tap dancer Max Pollak, creator of RumbaTap, merging American Rhythm Tap with Afro-Cuban music and dance.
Central focus of the the program is the world premiere of Orozco's Traveling Shoe Stories, a half hour work for tap dancer and chamber ensemble, in which Cuban and Venezuelan folk music, western classical tradition, pop, jazz, improvisation and tap dance live harmonically together.
The show brings the audience a unique experience regarding to what is commonly known in the world about both Cuban music and tap dance. Through the original and versatile dance style of Max Pollak and the multi-abilities of our excellent musicians, the show travels from folk and popular to classical, jazz and contemporary music styles that have been always present in Cuba. Both written and improvised music and dance have equal role in the show.
