Heard on All Things Considered By Michele Norris
“The dance style called “Step” has long been a tradition in black fraternities and sororities. NPR’s Michele Norris introduces us to a dance troupe in Washington, D.C., that’s taking it to new places. The troupe is called Step Afrika, and it uses dance to bring together African Americans, Africans, and others.” – Michele Norris

Founded in 1994 by C. Brian Williams, Step Afrika! is the first professional company dedicated to the tradition of stepping. Under Mr. Williams’ leadership, stepping has evolved into one of America’s cultural exports, touring more than 60 countries across the globe.
