Step Afrika dance performance at Kumble Theatre

Step it up with a dance performance by Step Afrika at the Kumble Theatre on April 28.

With its origins in African-American fraternities and sororities, stepping is known for its intricate, synchronized patterns of stomps, kicks, claps, and call-and-response. As the world’s first professional company dedicated to this art form, the dancers of Step Afrika! use their bodies as instruments, integrating stepping with African traditional dance and other dance forms to create a high-energy, sharply choreographed, and incredibly entertaining performance.

“Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts presents: Step Afrika!” April 28, 3 pm and 8 pm. $35 all seats. Suitable for all ages

Kumble Theater at Long Island University [DeKalb and Flatbush avenues in Fort Greene, (718) 488–1624 www.kumbletheater.org].
