PAEC PRESENTS: Step Afrika!

Experience the pulse, power, and pride of stepping with Step Afrika!, the world’s premier ensemble dedicated to this uniquely American dance form. Founded in 1994 by C. Brian Williams, Step Afrika! has transformed the tradition of stepping—rooted in the rich legacy of historically African American fraternities and sororities—into a global sensation.
