While in residence at our studios, @iam_maxinelyle and @soulstepsllc taught workshops at @pittsfieldpublic elementary schools and at @simons_rock. Here's some video footage of their work with Simon's Rock students!

They introduced participants to the basics of the African American tradition known as “stepping” and introduced the students about the key historical points in steps’ development. For over a century, step dancers have used their bodies as percussive instruments to create a new physical language that inspires, celebrates, and forges community. Soul Steps brings this explosive art form to the stage in a high-energy performance that combines percussive movement, hip-hop rhythms, and call and response.

We're so excited by our partnership with Soul Steps, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for stepping in the Berkshires! (Hint hint: stay tuned 👀)
