Each evening from Wednesday, June 13 through Friday, June 15, two step teams will battle each other on the High Line. On Saturday, the festival culminates in a stepping workshop followed by a showcase performance.
Stepping is an energetic and precise form of group movement that uses a mixture of spoken word, footsteps, and handclaps to transform the participants’ bodies into rhythmic instruments. The history of stepping is rooted in the competitive schoolyard song and dance rituals of historically African American fraternities and sororities.

Thursday, June 14, 6:30 PM: Icy Blue (Bronx, NY) vs. Bombay Steppers (Brooklyn, NY)
