A rhythmic and visual collage, this engaging short takes a close look at a tradition being passed down from father to son. Sand dance stems from turn of the 20th century vaudevillean and traveling shows. With only a handful of people still performing it, this film is a rare archive of the transference of sand dance or “passin’ the sand”, from one generation to the next. Featuring emerging tap dance artist Kenji Igus and his father Darrow.
