Honduran tap dancer and choreographer Gerson Lanza captivates Hylton Center audiences in his
love letter to the American percussive art form of tap, during an afternoon of syncopated rhythms
and intricate footwork. For his Matinee Idylls debut, he will be joined by his jazz quintet
featuring some of the best musicians on the East Coast. Lanza began training at Wadleigh School
for the Performing and Visual Arts and the Harlem School of the Arts. He has completed
residencies at Lincoln Center, Jacob’s Pillow, and Strathmore—all while simultaneously
working towards a master’s degree in performance studies and dance from the University of
Maryland. In addition, he has been featured in the Guggenheim Work and Progress Series, Fall
for Dance Festival at New York City Center and headlined the Millennium Stage with his jazz
quintet at The Kennedy Center. Whether performing alongside spoken word artists, musicians,
other dancers, or in solo performances, Lanza mesmerizes with complex moves that he makes
look easy.
Hylton Performing Arts Center is at 10960 George Mason Circle, Manassas, VA.
