Step Afrika! at Harbison Theatre

The sounds of West and Southern Africa made their way to Harbison Theatre at Midlands Technical College (HT@MTC) on Saturday, September 17 at 7:30 p.m.

"Step Afrika! is an interactive performance combining dance, music, and storytelling into a high-energy performance” said Kristin Cobb, executive director of HT@MTC. “But just as importantly, they help audiences gain a broader understanding of different cultures and art forms, both historical and modern.”

Founded in 1994 by C. Brian Williams, Step Afrika! is the first professional company dedicated to the tradition of stepping. The group combines percussive dance styles often used by many historically African American fraternities and sororities and an array of contemporary dance. Their work is also featured at the National Museum of African American History and Culture.



“Their performance is not just a dance show,” Cobb added. “The blend of technique, agility, and the rush of energy makes each performance unique will leave you with your heart pounding.”
