Step is a form of dance that involves making beats and rhythms with only your body - a sort of body percussion dance form. Stepping finds its origins in African foot dances, primarily the "gumboot" dance in South Africa. Join us as we explore the history of step and its journey from Africa to the United States, both in the context of historically-black colleges and universities and Yale today. In this course we will both learn about step as a dance form and learn steps that the Yale Step Time (Yale's Steppin' Out) performs! The course will be led by members of the Yale step team.
