Step Dance

Step Dance

About this dance style...

Step dance is a generic term for dance styles in which footwork is considered to be the most important part of the dance and limb movements and styling are either restricted or considered irrelevant.

History in 10 seconds...

Stepping’s origins can be traced back to African folk dances that incorporated hand clapping and foot stomping as early as the 15th century. During the slave trade era, these elements were incorporated into European culture and may have developed into stepping after the 1739 Stono Rebellion, when South Carolina outlawed drumming to prevent enslaved people from communicating. Stepping’s percussive style may have replaced drumming as a form of communication and entertainment.
