The Yard

Music From the Sole will present I Didn't Come to Stay on July 15th at the Martha's Vineyard Performing Arts Center. The Yard is thrilled to host Music From The Sole in residency for the third time, and in the largest performing arts venue on Martha's Vineyard. I Didn't Come to Stay combines tap, percussive dance, samba, house, and live music in a celebration reminiscent of Brazil’s Carnaval. The piece features eight dancers and a five piece band in a vibrant performance that explores tap’s lineage and connections to Afro-Diasporic art forms. In addition to their performance on July 15th, Music From The Sole will teach a public dance class as part of The Yard's Wednesday Workshop series, and plans to reconnect with members of the Brazilian community on Martha's Vineyard.
