Step Afrika! | School Time
Enjoy the Company’s self-titled work Step Afrika!. This show introduces audiences to stepping through both a traditional and contemporary lens.
Students will be on their feet as Step Afrika! merges the energy of a live DJ with the powerful art form of stepping. The Evolution Tour features bold new choreography that celebrates teamwork, discipline, and commitment. This unique, high-energy performance is perfect for introducing students to the performing arts in a fun, educational, and unforgettable way.
Step Afrika! blends percussive dance styles practiced by historically African American fraternities and sororities; traditional African dances; and an array of contemporary dance and art forms into a cohesive, compelling artistic experience. Performances are much more than dance shows; they integrate songs, storytelling, humor, and audience participation. The blend of technique, agility, and pure energy makes each performance unique and leaves the audience with their hearts pounding.
