Soul Steps, from New York City, is thrilled to bring African American step dance to the Bennington Performing Arts Center on Saturday, December 11, 2021 at 7:30 pm. Learn about the history of step and get a taste of high energy body percussion in this interactive, one-hour presentation. The evening will include a sneak peek of material from their new production in development, STEP SHOW: THE MUSICAL.

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A with the artists, curated by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion consultant, Mya Fisher from Yale University. This performance is a fundraiser for the development of this exciting new work by Soul Steps.

African American step dance is a rich art form that began at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and has connections to South Africa and other parts of the African Diaspora. We invite you to journey with the artists through this captivating history and clap along as they celebrate this electrifying dance.
