The traveling dance group Step Afrika! USA will perform from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 19 at Washington State University’s Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum. Admission is free.
Step Afrika! performs each year for tens of thousands of people on stages in North America, Europe and South Africa. It is the first professional company dedicated to stepping.
Stepping is an art form born at African-American fraternities and based on African traditions. It uses movement, words and sounds to communicate allegiance to a group. Step Afrika’s mission is to entertain as well as raise awareness for the culture that created stepping.
Historian Jacqui Malone said stepping is “one of the most exciting dance forms to evolve in the 20th century.”
