The Stepperz Society is all about dance, culture, and community. We celebrate the energy of Afrobeats and Caribbean dance styles while welcoming influences from across the globe. Whether you’re a total beginner or an experienced dancer, Stepperz is the place to learn choreography, build confidence, and perform at exciting events both on and off campus.
We run weekly beginner and intermediate classes, host workshops and socials, and put on high-energy performances at university and external events. Our mission is to create a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment where everyone can step into rhythm, celebrate culture, and connect through dance.
✨ No experience needed! just bring your vibe, your energy, and your willingness to step!
