Just after I decided to do my Sixty-at Sixty challenge I saw a listing in the New York Times for a performance of
Step Afrika! at Marcus Garvey Park in the city. At the time I had never heard of the dance company, which according to the blurb, "
presents its innovative merging of traditional African dance and step in which the performers - dazzlingly nimble and rhythmic - make music with their bodies." It seemed worth checking out, especially given that one hour before the performance they were giving a technique class appropriate for all ages and levels.
