Master Class: Step Afrika

STEP AFRIKA! MASTERCLASS is a 75-minute workshop catered for students who have previous stepping/dance experience. Artists teach choreography that is appropriate for their skill level. A 15-minute talk back concludes the session, where students can ask dancers about their experience as a professional dancer, life on tour, greek and college life.

Stepping is a percussive, highly-energetic art form first developed through the song and dance rituals performed by African-American fraternities and sororities.  In stepping, the body becomes an instrument, using footsteps, claps and spoken word to produce complex poly-rhythms.  Stepping has been described as “one of the most exciting dance forms created in the 21st century.”

This is a master class event and is not the full performance of Step Afrika. Presenting guest lineups are subject to change.
