On the 26Th of march which is today...The group step Afrika will be performing at the Gracie Theater.It is going to start at 8.00pm.Entrance is free.FYI today is culture day.
You might be wondering what step Afrika means or "where are these people from." Well they are a professional company based in Washington D.Cand the perform step dances.So what is step dance?
"Stepping is tap dance without tap shoes, James Brown without the music of the JBs, Cab Calloway sans piano, a marching band without John Philip Sousa. It is jazz, funk, rhythm and blues, and rap without instruments. Stepping is lean and mean. The music comes from the synchronized interplay of hands and feet, from chants and hollers. It is a way to make music using the body as instrument."
—Jill Nelson, The Washington Post
This group has been around the country and the world sharing their culture with other people.The group was founded in 1994.
The Husson university international club together with students activities were hoping to have a fashion show or some sort of a cultural show but unfortunately they couldn't make it.Good news is that they are still planning to do it before the end of the semester.
