On June 23rd, a remarkable album, eight years in the making, will be released.

STEP AFRIKA! is the first professional company in the world dedicated to stepping, an art form as rich as its African roots. This highly interactive performance highlights the rhythm, physicality and history of stepping while introducing the concepts of teamwork, discipline and commitment. Stepping is a unique dance tradition created by African American college students. The tradition grew out of the song and dance rituals practiced by historically African American fraternities and sororities in the early 1900s. Like tap dance without shoes, or a band without instruments, stepping is percussive dance that uses kicks, stomps, claps and chants - all linked to African and modern dance traditions. As the first professional company devoted to stepping, Washington DC's world-renowned STEP AFRIKA! brings high-energy performance to the stage - a feast for both the eyes and the ears.
