Drumfolk is a feast for all of the senses, with an incredibly talented ensemble of artists.  

Step Afrika! returns with its newest production, Drumfolk, based on historical events that took place during the 1700s in the Deep South. Building upon the success of The Migration: Reflections on Jacob Lawrence (New Victory 2017), Step Afrika! takes audiences on a journey from the 18th century to present-day America, where body percussion has shaped such modern art forms as hip hop and African American social dance, among others. Drumfolk runs at New Victory from February 28 - March 15, 2020, as part of the production's 10-city tour across the U.S.

Each year, the holiday season becomes even more magnificent when celebrated with Step Afrika! In the Magical Musical Holiday Step Show, the company performs for families and engages the community in a festive spectacle that has audience members stomping their feet and clapping their hands. Over the last eight seasons, Step Afrika! has shared this contemporary holiday performance that features friendly furry characters, pre-show workshops, photo opportunities, and even a dance party.
