Step Afrika! 101 is an energetic, educational introduction to the art form of stepping. Merging the steps and strolls created and still practiced by Black Greek-letter organizations with the sounds of AfroBeats and popular music, Step Afrika! 101 fuses explosive footwork, vibrant choreography, and contemporary African movement into an incredible, unique campus experience.
Step Afrika! 101 blends percussive dance styles practiced by historically African American fraternities and sororities; traditional African dances; and an array of contemporary dance and art forms into a cohesive, compelling artistic experience. Performances are much more than dance shows; they integrate songs, storytelling, humor and audience participation. The blend of technique, agility, and pure energy makes each performance unique and leaves the audience with their hearts pounding.

This event will also include "The Heart and Soul of the Movement", which is a Homage Exhibit that focuses on members of the Divine 9 who helped create a culture of change and resistance that impacted the Civil Rights Movement in America. Through original artifacts, students discover how the involvement of these students led to tangible social change. The exhibit will be open from 4:30 - 8:30 p.m., in the atrium outside the Louis Armstrong Theatre in the Haas Center for Performing Arts.
