The electrifying Step Afrika is the first professional company in the world dedicated to the rich tradition of stepping, an art form born at African American fraternities and based in African traditions.

Part heavy-duty body percussion and part poetry slam, they use the human body as an instrument to create intricate rhythms and sounds through a combination of footsteps, claps and spoken word. A FamilyTime event for ages 10 and up.
