'Step Afrika!' Comes to Ware!

On Friday, March 12th Step Afrika! entertained and inspired Ware students, and special guests, Pre-K 4 and Kindergarten students from Grace Episcopal School of Yorktown, VA, with an irrepressible, energetic show full of knee-slaps and flat-footed stomps!

Step Afrika!, a DC-based company, celebrates 'stepping', an art form born at African American fraternities and based in African traditions. The students were lead through stepping lessons and told stories about the origins of stepping.  As the first professional company dedicated to stepping, Step Afrika!'s intricate kicks, stomps and rhythms mixed with spoken word pounded the gym floor and filled the air!

“The performance was electrifying,” said Mr. Tom Thomas, Head of School, “The students left the gym with a new-found rhythm in their step…no pun intended.”
