Recognizing the challenges faced by so many families due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Step Afrika! was pleased to offer this year’s holiday show free of charge.  A worldwide audience tuned in as the celebrated performers of Step Afrika! spread holiday cheer to audiences all over the world.

Step Afrika!’s Magical Musical Holiday Step Show was recorded live at the Hylton Performing Arts Center and made possible in part due to Step Afrika!’s Virtual Artist-in-Residence with George Mason University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts during the 2020-2021 season.   Step Afrika! will partner in a variety of ways throughout the 2020-2021 academic year with Mason’s College of Visual and Performing Arts, the Center for the Arts and the Hylton Performing Arts Center to create opportunities for artistic exchanges in the classroom and for the greater community.
