As Bailaor/a is the name given to pure flamenco dancing, Hoofer's is the word used to define the dance performed by African Americans in the
poorest areas, based especially on the drawings and the percussive sound of feet, as if they are singing their yearning to Africa in the form of dance, which initially was done with shoes with wooden soles and
subsequently with metal plates a dance which was performed ‘a capella’ or accompanying Jazz music.The concept of this show comes from the union that both dances share (both Flamenco and Jazz have
African roots)...

" Dancing from my heart, no dance for dancing exists to deliver what my soul wants to express"
"Art becomes remedy when it´s sung, Art breaks chains when it´s danced"
"Rendering your pain with mine and see how disapears and converts into joy"
