Soul Steps
Artist: Soul Steps
Type: Performances / Assemblies
Description
Soul Steps speaks the language of rhythm! This showcase of the African-American dance tradition known as “stepping” explores how step started among African-American fraternities and sororities on college campuses as a means of unity and self-expression, and has deep roots in the migrant labor culture of South African gold mines. Students enjoy the high-energy step choreography performed by the ensemble along with interactive breakdowns of step moves that engage the audience in both the physicality and the history behind the dance.

Testimonials
The Soul Steps sisters were very professional, informative, and engaging with not only the students but with the staff as well!! Great Job!!
6th-Grade Teacher, Somerville Middle School
The performance was lively and exciting and the students participated enthusiastically both from their seats and, towards the end of the hour, on stage along with some of the steppers. The students showed great interest in the performers own histories during the Q & A and seemed to be inspired by the personal stories of each performer.
Secondary School MGI Coordinator, Queens Gateway to Health Sciences
Our staff members raved about how great the show was. Soul Steps "captivated the audience immediately and did an excellent job of tying in the history of step. Excellent for audience participation!"
