S tep Afrika! blends percussive dance styles practiced by historically Afr ican American fraternities and sororities\; traditional African dances\; and an array of contemporary dance and art forms into a cohesive\, comp elling artistic experience. Performances are much more than dance shows \; they integrate songs\, storytelling\, humor\, and audience participati on. The blend of technique\, agility\, and pure energy makes each perfor mance unique and leaves the audience with their hearts pounding.

Step Afrika! promotes stepping as an educational tool for young people\, focusing on teamwork\, academic achievement\, and cross-cultural unders tanding. The Company reaches tens of thousands of Americans each year th rough a 50-city tour of colleges and theaters and performs globally as W ashington\, DC’\;s one and only Cultural Ambassador.

Step Af rika! has earned Mayor’\;s Arts Awards for \;Outstanding Contri bution to Arts Education\, \;Innovation in the Arts\, \;Excellen ce in an Artistic Discipline\, and was inducted into the National Associ ation of Campus Activities (NACA) Hall of Fame\, the first Dance Company to earn this honor.
