EDUCATION: Step Afrika!

This performance is appropriate for all ages.

The Story of Step Afrika!

Founded in 1994 by C. Brian Williams, Step Afrika! is the first professional company dedicated to the tradition of stepping. Under Williams’ leadership, stepping has evolved into one of America’s cultural exports, touring more than 70 countries. Step Afrika! ranks among the top ten African-American dance companies in the United States.

Step Afrika! blends percussive dance styles practiced by historically African American fraternities and sororities, traditional West and Southern African dances, and contemporary dance and art forms. Performances integrate songs, storytelling, humor, and audience participation.
