★★★★★Tasha HaywoodThe entire show was wonderful for families. The dancing was great to see and energy was contagious. Most of the stepping definitely have D-9 members. I love how they allow the audience on stage instead of taking a intermission. My favorite part was the dance competition between the men and women and how they interact with the crowd. The only suggestion I would add is to bring in a child dancer/stepper at some point in the show. I would go again next year. I also love how they have special affordable nights.
★★★★★Derrick GrahamI went to see Step Afrika at Arena Stage tonight. This was one of my favorite performances. The cast was amazing with the synchronized dancing and great singing. I did not expect such greatness we will be back. I was entertained the whole performance.
★★★★★Rosemarie D'GintoI didn't take any pictures or videos as I believe the Peace Center doesn't allow.. But fabulous show and performance. Also educational! We would definitely go again and recommend their performance.
★★★★★Dawn FergusonGreat show!! I loved that it was interactive! The cast was very talented. I’ll see y’all next year!
★★★★★C HoganThe Holiday Show is delightful. It is a great intergenerational activity. There is enough there for everyone. Whimsy and magic for the little ones, interactive call and response for the middle schoolers, competition and stepping for the teens, hip hop dance for the millennials, all mixed with traditional holiday music turned on its ear. And it is a relatively short program! Can still go out for dessert afterwards!
