Step Afrika!

Nov. 6-7, 2009 • McColl Family Theatre
Front Orchestra $14.00 │ General Section $12.00

Rhythmic. Engaging. Electrifying. Experience Step Afrika!, the world’s first professional company dedicated to stepping, a unique art form born at African American fraternities and based in African traditions. The dancers use their bodies as instruments, and their intricate kicks, stomps and rhythms mixed with spoken word pound the floor and fill the air. Don’t miss a show that the Washington Post called “a virtuosic performance to make the venerable Alvin Ailey dancers sigh.”

For Ages 7+/Grades 2+
Best enjoyed by Elementary and Middle School ages
