 Soulstepping, African American step shows.
Author: Fine, Elizabeth C Published: 2003 Stepping is a complex performance that melds folk traditions with popular culture and involves synchronised percussive movement, singing, speaking, chanting, and drama. Developed by African American fraternities and sororities, it is now practiced throughout the world. Soulstepping is the first book to document this history of stepping, its roots in African and American culture, and its transformation by churches, schools and social groups into a powerful tool for instilling group identity and community involvement. |
