The first professional company dedicated to the tradition of stepping, Step Afrika! blends percussive dance styles, traditional African dances, and contemporary dance and art forms into a powerful artistic experience. Much more than a dance show, Step Afrika! also integrates songs, storytelling, humor, and audience participation.
The company’s productions blend traditional stepping, along with background on the distinctive styles of the fraternities and sororities that created this dance form, with traditional African dance, such as the South African gumboot dance and contemporary dance. First established in 1994 as part of an exchange with the Soweto Dance Theatre of Johannesburg, Step Afrika! has become one of the top African-American dance companies in the country.
For students in grades: 6-12
