Step Afrika!

Step Afrika!, founded in 1994 by C. Brian Williams, is the world’s leading authority on the art form of stepping. Under Williams’ leadership, stepping has evolved into one of America’s cultural exports, touring more than 60 countries across the globe and ranking as one of the top 10 African American dance companies in the US.

Step Afrika! 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, leaving the audience with their hearts pounding.

Step Afrika! promotes stepping as an educational tool for young people, focusing on teamwork, academic achievement and cross-cultural understanding. The company reaches tens of thousands of Americans each year through a 50-city tour of colleges and theaters and performs globally as Washington DC’s one and only Cultural Ambassador.

This is a sponsored event through UM-Flint’s ArtsAccess Program, which is designed to increase student access to arts and cultural experiences in our community. Tickets and transportation (if applicable) are provided at little to no cost to UM-Flint students. Limit one ticket per student.
