Step Afrika! integrates song, dance, storytelling, humor, and audience participation in highlighting the importance of stepping in cultural identity and the use of body percussion as a means of communication.

This performance blends percussive dance styles practiced by historically African American fraternities and sororities, traditional West and Southern African dances, and an array of contemporary dance and art forms showcasing the ensemble’s technique, agility, and pure energy.

To complement Step Afrika’s performance, our UMS Learning Guide offers context about the history of stepping, its connections to Michigan, and more.

Please Note: performance is currently at capacity, and we are no longer taking new reservations.
