SAVION GLOVER’s SOLO IN TIME at THE JOYCE MARCH 3 – MARCH 22, 2009

SoLoiNTiME Savion Glover's SOLO IN TIME - a continuation of the HooFeRzCLuB tradition at attributing music through tap dancing’s percussiveness -- using tap as sound, and sound as dance. Accompanied by his newest Dance band Bare Soundz, live flamenco vibes, and his own acclaimed Hooferz style - Mr. Glover and company tributes the percussive medley of flamenco through the relationship between flamenco music and tap dancing as song. SOLO IN TIME embraces yet another dance lineage exploring a montage of sounds through the intricate time passages of tap dance composition and the many ancestral forms of flamenco.
