Dancers of Mambo, Salsa, and Cha-Cha-Cha are being sought for the filming of

"La Epoca - The Lost Rhythms in Salsa." Producers will be present at

The Dance Space located at 6004-A W Broad St. - Floor 2, in Richmond, VA from 8p-12a.

 

Filming will be kept to intervals throughout the evening, and it will be selective of

dancers who demonstrate the talent sought for the film. Filming will take place

in a designated area. All levels of dancers will be considered.

 

It is suggested that females wear Ultra-Deep V-neck tops with above-the-knee dresses or

skirts that flail with movements and turns - and that if their hair-styling permits -

then to wear it down so that also their hair flails with movements and turns;

males are encouraged to wear slacks. Dress code: Smart-Casual.

 

Dancers are encouraged to introduce themselves to producers

and to make known their interest in being filmed. Producers WILL

provide guidance as to what dancing is being sought - there will be direct input from

producers regarding what looks best for film. Don't be shy! Dance to have fun!

 

It is suggested that dancers flaunt their styling and footwork - along with

advanced turn-patterns. Producers are particularly interested in capturing

dancers who demonstrate  a connection with the music being played OR

dancers who are well-acquainted with improvisational leg-and-foot shines.

 

The producers of this film are siblings - their father is the renown world-class bassist

Mambo Legend "Alfonso El Panameno" from the Palladium-era orchestras

including Arsenio Rodriguez, Tito Puente, Johnny Pacheco, Machito, Celia Cruz, Eddie Palmieri

 - and he was substitute bassist of Mambo Rhythm Pioneer Israel "Cachao" Lopez.

Director and Executive Producer Josué Joseph will be in attendance.

 

A release form is required in order to properly identify each dancer. A release form

will be provided for each dancer.
