This was a nice, family friendly and very entertaining event. The show started with some more modern steps and then they went back to the African roots during a couple performances. Then they did some more artistic steps using jazz and a children's choir. The show ended with more contemporary steps including some call and response. Overall it was well done. It was also great to support a DC based organization. The only thing I thought was lacking was a little more history of stepping and I thought they were going to highlight fraternities and sororities more as well.

This was a great performance that blended the historical origins from which stepping is based with the traditional Greek perspective. The performers were aptly skilled and coordinated. I definitely look forward to attending future performances.

All new, if you have previously seen Step Afrika. I especially liked the music and visual design of the jazz and modern dance numbers and the lighting and staging of all the numbers. They are an amazing talented and creative troupe.
