Thank you for attending Strathmore & Step Afrika!’s Step Xplosion, June 19, 2023

Step Xplosion is a celebration of the art form of stepping presented by Step Afrika! and Strathmore. The 2023 production was proud to host

the Virginia State University NPHC Allstars, Brooklyn Divas, Dem Raider Boyz Step Squad, Blue MaDness and Fatal Attraction Step Squad

Honoring its rich roots in the African American fraternity and sorority experience, this show emphasizes the presence of stepping in the daily and future lives of students.

This year’s collaborative production featured the local premiere of The Movement, a new work choreographed by longstanding Step Afrika! performer Conrad Kelly II. Miss this year’s performance? You can watch our Virtual Step Xplosion, originally streamed on April 21, 2021! Step Xplosion 2023 was also featured on NBC4 and had an additional segment on WUSA9.
