Step Afrika! is coming to Flint — and you have TWO chances to experience it.
As part of Arts Access, we’re excited to welcome Step Afrika! on March 13 for two incredible events you won’t want to miss.
Step Afrika! is the first professional company in the world dedicated to the art form of stepping. Founded in 1994, the company blends traditional African dance, contemporary performance styles, and the historically Black Greek-letter tradition of stepping into a powerful, high-energy experience.
Using their bodies as instruments, performers create rhythm through synchronized footwork, clapping, chanting, and movement. Their performances are interactive, educational, and deeply rooted in culture — celebrating unity, teamwork, and community.
In addition to touring nationally and internationally, Step Afrika! is committed to arts education, leadership development, and preserving the rich history of stepping within Black culture and college life.
