If you liked STOMP then you’ll love the astounding energy of Step Afrika! Like a tap without shoes, or a band without instruments, stepping is percussive dance that uses kicks, stomps, claps and chants – all linked to African and modern dance traditions. As the first professional company devoted to stepping, the world-renowned Step Afrika! brings a high-energy performance to the stage in this feast for both the eyes and ears.

“Electrifying talents… always visually and musically exciting” —The Washington Post
