Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater will present the return of Step Afrika!’s Magical Musical Holiday Step Show to its Fichandler Stage. With three consecutive sold-out runs at Arena under its belt, the internationally acclaimed Dance Company returns home to DC to light up the famed in-the-round theater for a fourth-year extended run. The “step-tastic” festivities take place December 5 – 21, 2025.
Fusing holiday magic and merriment with the rich African American art form of stepping, Step Afrika!’s Magical Musical Holiday Step Show is an unforgettable all-ages experience. Bask in the spirit of the season with DJ Nutcracker, his Arctic crew, and Step Afrika!’s award-winning performers as they lead an electrifying 90-minute journey packed with high-energy stepping, festive music, and infectious holiday cheer. With nonstop laughter, joy, and surprises, audiences won’t want to miss this family-favorite “step-stravaganza,” now celebrating its 15th Anniversary.
A special treat for this year’s attendees, Step Afrika! will debut a new dance piece: “Candy Cane Lane.” Take a stroll down Candy Cane Lane, where towering candy canes tap, twirl, and bring the season to life with rhythm and cheer. Alongside returning favorites—including a percussive March of the Nutcrackers, DJ Nutcracker’s famous Nutcracker Slide, and an epic step battle between The Elves and The Fairies—this year’s production promises a celebratory mix of tradition, rhythm, and fun.
