Combining reading, exercise, and creative movement, Step Afrika! introduces Step Afrika! Reads, a new arts education program

In 2012, Step Afrika! introduced a new educational program called Step Afrika! Reads.

STEP AFRIKA! READS

“Step Afrika! Reads is designed to teach young children of all cultural and economic backgrounds to be active. It encourages parents to read to their children on a daily basis. The 35-minute program is structured for two to five-year-olds and combines reading, exercise, and creative movement. Tickets are free but there’s limited space so please use the link below to reserve a spot!” – 2011 Program Description

“We really enjoyed having Step Afrika! at our library and received a strong audience turn-out and a great response from our community. The show was well-designed for a younger audience and the books that they selected to read were popular age-appropriate choices. The four members arrived early to set up and stayed late to speak with children and parents. We would definitely book Step Afrika! again in the future.”
