520    A lively exploration of the historical and cultural 
       context of "Stepping," an energetic communal dance form 
       sweeping college campuses.  Young teams of dancers 
       creatively add hip-hop movements to a tradition dating 
       back to the early 20th century. The origin and evolution 
       of African American collegiate stepping is explored in 
       this energetic and informative documentary. Stepping is a 
       popular communal art form in which teams of young dancers 
       compete, using improvisation, call and response, complex 
       meters, propulsive rhythms and a percussive attack. 
       Stepping dates back to the early 20th century, when Black 
       veterans of World War I enrolled in colleges. Inspired by 
       their military training, they brought to their dances a 
       highly rigorous, drill-like component and combined it with
       elements from other Black dances, just as today's steppers
       often add hip-hop movements. Spike Lee's 1988 film, School
       Daze, brought stepping to a wider audience. Scholarly 
       commentary from a wide range of disciplines points to a 
       high degree of cultural retention in the dances. This 
       commentary, interwoven with lively and exciting stepping 
       performance footage, provides a historical and cultural 
       context for this creative and affirming phenomenon 
       sweeping college campuses. "A comprehensive look at the 
       art of stepping, providing a much needed historical 
       explanation for one of the most misunderstood yet highly 
       visible forms of self expression. This documentary is a 
       must see for all members of Black Greek lettered 
       organizations." - Walter M. Kimbrough, Albany State 
       University "This video provides young steppers all across 
       the country who practice the art form a comprehensive look
       at a rapidly-developing dance tradition." - Brian Williams,
       Director, Step Afrika! "This fast-paced program would be 
       of primary interest to college students and teenagers." - 
       Booklist.
