Stepping dates back to the early 20th century, when black veterans enrolled in colleges, and inspired by their military training, created a dance form based on precisely regimented movements. This program explores the origin and evolution of African-American step-dancing, weaving scholarly commentary about its cultural context with lively and exciting performance footage.
