Step Afrika!, the first professional company dedicated to the tradition of stepping returns to the Appell Center on April 12, blending percussive dance styles, traditional African dances, and contemporary dance and art forms into a powerful artistic experience. Much more than a dance show, Step Afrika! also integrates songs, storytelling, humor, and audience participation.
