Step Afrika!’s VIP Gala Dazzles at the Historic Howard Theatre

On June 9, 2025, the Company’s key supporters and friends gathered at the historic Howard Theatre for Step Afrika!’s VIP Gala 2025. The event was an electrifying celebration with live performances, a beautiful sit-down dinner, and a dance party hosted by the incredible DJ Tanz.

Sponsorship of our 2025 Gala supported Step Afrika!’s award-winning arts education and community programs in Washington, DC. As the world’s leading authority on the art form of stepping, Step Afrika! is honored to keep teaching, uplifting, and connecting with the next generation through the arts.

The evening would not have been possible without the Company’s exceptional event producer, Sonjie Decaires. Sonjie’s thoughtful touch was felt in every detail, and she made the VIP Gala truly unforgettable.
