“The tradition and performers embody the strength of an African American experience. The art form is an expression of excellence, discipline, joy, resilience, and triumph.”—NEA Chair, Dr. Maria Rosario

Founded in the U.S. as an exchange program with the Soweto Dance Theatre of Johannesburg, Step Afrika! is the world’s leading authority on the art form of stepping. The Company introduces audiences to this dance form through both traditional and contemporary lenses by incorporating percussive dance styles practiced by historically Black fraternities and sororities, traditional African dances, and an array of modern dance styles. The result is a heart-pounding mixture of technique, agility, and raw energy that thrills at every turn!
