“It’s kind of like a dance, except
that instead of dancing to music, you’re making the music
at the same time.”
—Joseph Griffin, Iota Phi Theta Fraternity,
University of California at Berkeley
Stepping is rhythmic movement that uses the hands and feet as
an instrument. Known best among African American fraternities
and sororities, stepping draws on a long African tradition of
using the body to make music.
Synchronized movement and chants are coordinated by the leader,
or step master. Sometimes improvising, always cultivating their
own distinctive moves and rhythms, step teams reflect and reaffirm
both the unity and the unique style of their group.
