Impressive! My 7 year old enjoyed the performance too while I appreciated another history lesson not taught in school. I would recommend it to everyone! The venue was very comfortable and affordable so I could bring my granddaughter. I wish they would bring more popular events that are at the Pantages here!
This show was one of the best shows I have seen in years. It was, by far, the best show I have ever seen at this venue. I put it right next to Hamilton which was my all time favorite performance. I understand they are going to "off" Broadway, but I almost guarantee that they will be 'on Broadway in no time at all. The athletisism, skill and beauty they showed was remarkable. I would gladly see that show several more times. I could hardly stay in my seat.
I haven't been to a step show in 30 years it reminded me of my days going to step shows in Atlanta in the late 80s and early 90's. My daughters finally understood what I was talking about.
My husband and I really enjoyed the performance. It was very interactive with the audience and you could tell that the dancers have trained very hard. It was a terrific cast and a wonderful show.
GREAT SHOW! My family and I had a great time at this show!!
Step Afrika is a fantastic show. Great energy, outstanding choreography, attendance involvement and very talented cast. I recommend this show for the whole family.
It was an AMAZING show! Full of energy and excitement.
Awesome show. Great vibe. Interaction with audience. Super family friendly.
The show was amazing & engaged the entire audience. The dancers brought the history of stepping and African culture of dance together wonderfully! My entire family had an awesome time, trust me you’ll love it too. Bravo
Took at least 10 (perhaps it was 20), at any rate, way too long to engage, get energetic. I at an African dance engagement. I am pumped and raring to go. Unacceptable for a world touring pro dance troupe. I have seen scintillating, heart thumping performances from ametuer companies, so these guys really have no excuse. Also very stingy, and seems like they have one move per dance style that they know will be applauded, so hold it till the end. Very, holding audience hostage-ey situation. The creator at the end asked if they should come back to LA. Please don't.
Step Afrika made for an exciting night out. The cast members were very spirited, talented and engaging. Wanted more when it was over.
I loved the interaction and audience participation. It was good, wholesome, clean fun. I didn't have to worry about anything being inappropriate for my guests.
I have been to 100s of live shows, I majored in Theater in undergrad and I am also a musician. When I heard there was a step show with a symphony, I knew I'd like it. But add in a gospel choir and it literally made this experience holy for me. I still feel so moved by this performance, and cannot recommend it highly enough. 10 stars!
There aren't any words to describe how amazingly talented you all are. Please keep Atlanta on your radar for future shows! Thank you again for a beautiful experience.
I loved this performance! The marriage of the orchestra and choir to the drums, to the feet and hands was awesome. My only complaint is that it left me wanting more- that's a good thing.
This show was simply amazing. Organized, awe-inspiring, captivating. Such a beautiful convergence of stepping, singing, and orchestra. You don't even have to be a lover of the arts to appreciate this show. I looooved it!
Several elements are mixed in this production as it is starting out and it has a focus on understanding how energy is used and the role that innovation has taken over the decades. Green is the new black is a conceptual work of art that reveals how the body and the energy harnessed from manual labor and has now been transferred to the concept of "green" energy yet even though the theme appears in industry as a new turn, it really has its basis founded in the original renewably of energy/labor found in us.
Having been to other step shows I was under the impression it was going to be a crew of ppl but it was less than 10. It was cool for what it was. my daughter had fun, so that's atoll that mattered. But they def need to do some recruiting
I had heard (and seen photographs) that the musical component of the program, especially the violins, was superb. But, the production was almost entirely dance, with a very small element of percussion instrumentation. I felt a little shortchanged in that respect. I was really looking forward to more percussion and, of course, the fiddlin'... BUT, that being said, the small ensemble of two young women and four young men put on a performance that was TOTALLY AWESOME!!! Perhaps that's a bit cliche. But, I'm struggling to come up with the words to express how impressed I was with these performers. First off, the dance sequences were incredible. With the exception of the wonderful South African tribal dances with the aforementioned percussion accompaniment (skillfully played drums and a dancer's whistle), all of the step dancing was done with the self pacing dialog of the dancers as the only means to setting the perfectly timed rhythm that would make any veteran choreographer or drill leader marvel. The high energy movements charged the entire auditoreum and the connection with the audience was palpable. Everyone got into the rhythmic clapping to urge the dancers along. Yet, the dancing, itself, was only part of the appeal of the performance. These six young people were extraordinary in every way. Sure, they're incredible dancers. But, the charisma, the confidence, the PRIDE exhibited throughout the performance was indelible. I'm a 57-year old white hispanic professional who managed to feel drawn to these young African American performers. I was totally captivated by their entire performance. When it ended, I felt as if it had flown by. And, yet, I felt privileged to have been able to catch this "mini" version of Step Afrika as it tours our country...
Went we three young men ages 8-13- they were highly engaged and enjoyed both performances. That's amazing for 2 "cool" teenagers who don't like to overtly show emotions.
