Tap Olé audiences can expect another astounding dance experience featuring body percussion and the evocative sand dance, which was danced at the beginning of last century in the U.S.A. and has all but disappeared, nowadays.

The show was created for the Chicago Human Rhythm Project's program RITMO, at the Vittum Theatre on May 16 2003 with big success and received exceptional reviews in the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune, and also appearing at the NBC channel.

The tap dancers Guillem Alonso and Roser Font are well known international soloists, who have performed around Europe and U.S.A. in shows like Fire of Dance, Barcelona Rhythm Tap, Camut Band “Life is Rhythm”, American Tap Dance Orchestra or Manhattan Tap, among others.
The guitar players Roger Raventós and Daniel Figueras have been working together for long time, and combine classical music skills (they are teachers of different conservatories) with influences of other styles like flamenco, rumba, latin or jazz.
