The Weinberg presents a high-energy percussive step dance and traditional African dance with riveting songs and compelling storytelling.
Founded in 1994 as an exchange program with the Soweto Dance Theatre of Johannesburg, Step Afrika! is the first professional Dance Company in the world dedicated to the tradition of stepping. Mesmerizing and memorable. One of America’s top five African American dance companies travels the globe to deliver the tradition of stepping — a polyrhythmic, percussive dance form that uses the body as an artistic instrument. In perfect union, the performers’ feet pound the stage with power, precision, and skill. The dynamic dancing is complemented with riveting songs, compelling storytelling, and audience participation like none other.
