IFE-ILE Shows

IFE-ILE performs on the set of Andy Garcia's new film, The Lost City

IFE-ILE is available for touring, private parties and corporate events, as well as workshops and seminars.

Our high-energy shows mesmerize our audiences with Afro-Cuban rhythms. We perform in a range of styles, from sacred Orisha dance and folkloric rumba to Hip Hop, Timba and salsa. We also perform a range of other styles including mambo, Son, Cha Cha Cha, Samba/Capoeira, swing, jazz and modern dance.

Our performers include talented professional dancers and musicians with years of experience, most based in Miami, Florida. Internationally known Afro-Cuban choreographer and dancer Neri Torres leads the IFE-ILE company.

In addition to producing our own major stage shows such as our acclaimed musical, Guaguanco, IFE-ILE performs for both corporate and non-profit clients, as well as nationally known festivals such as the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, DC. We also present our shows at colleges and universities both in Florida and out-of-state.

Our dance company has also been featured in commercials, videos and movies, including actor/director Andy Garcia’s recent film The Lost City, which premiered at the 2006 Miami Film Festival.

One of our recent performances includes the opening celebration for the 2006 Calle Ocho Festival, a huge private party for funders and their friends, where we performed in the traditional carnaval style of Cuba.

In 2005, we performed for a celebration of the Latin dance stamps offered by the U.S. Postal Service (each of the four, colorful stamps honors a different style: Salsa, Mambo, Cha Cha Cha and Merengue.
