Step Team
Step is a style of percussive dancing that celebrates African culture and promotes expression and leadership skills.
What is Step?
Step programs combine fine arts performance and public service. Stepping celebrates African dance culture. The program not only exposes students to a variety of percussive dance styles from around the world, but it also encourages students to challenge themselves beyond the stage to excel in the classroom, seek opportunities for higher learning and become active contributors in their communities. Step programs compete at both the state and national levels, in addition to performing at school, district and community events.
