Step Afrika!

Presented by Virginia Arts Festival. Absolutely unique, undeniably appealing, and able to lift audiences to their feet in joyful celebration, Step Afrika! blends percussive dance styles practiced by historically African American fraternities and sororities with traditional African dances and an array of contemporary dance and art forms into a compelling artistic experience. Performances are much more than dance shows; they integrate songs, storytelling, humor and audience participation. The blend of technique, agility, and pure energy makes each performance unique and leaves the audience with their hearts pounding. “Joyful, inclusive, and soul-filling…a tour de force” (DCTheaterArts), this “enthralling sensory experience is rooted in history and packed full of joy”—an unforgettable tradition to share with family and friends.
