Description:
Discover the world of stepping with Step Afrika! Like a tap dance without shoes, or a band without instruments, stepping is percussive dance that uses kicks, stomps, claps and chants – all linked to African and modern dance traditions.
As the first professional company devoted to stepping, DC’s world renowned Step Afrika! brings’ high-energy performance to the stage: a feast for both the eyes and ears.
Founded in 1994, Step Afrika! has performed around the world and has been featured in numerous television appearances and documentaries. The company hosts an annual international festival in Johannesburg, South Africa, and conducts frequent residencies and performances at the Kennedy Center, the Washington Performing Arts Society and the Smithsonian Institution. The appearance at Radford University, part of a 50-city tour in the United States, promises to be a truly memorable experience.
