Step Your Game Up! Live!

Annual Black History Month Celebration Step Show

Presented by Johnson Communications

Step Your Game Up! brings a stepping show featuring regional and local stepping teams competing on the Bardavon stage. Few people outside of black Greek-letter organizations or black college students are familiar with the dynamic and popular movement art known as "stepping" (sometimes "blocking"). Created by African American fraternities and sororities in the mid-twentieth century, stepping is a complex dance form that grew out of a wider African American tradition and aesthetic. Over the past fifty years, stepping has incorporated elements of many other popular artistic forms, including military drills, children's games, cheerleading, martial arts, acrobatics, hip hop, and tap dancing-to name but a few-while still retaining its distinctiveness.

The presentation described on this page is a Bardavon rental. If you would like information about renting the Bardavon please click: Rental Information
