The Holistic Side of Step Dancing and Body Percussion: Community and Healing

Antwan Davis

Museum of Dance Artist in Residence, Antwan Davis, tells us about his path from playing the football gridiron, to performing as a dancer/stepper/body percussionist in Las Vegas, to acting as an ambassador for the art form of body percussion and Step Dance. He has taken these experiences to create a Step Dance crew that bridges the gaps between art forms and dance styles, and to imagining youth in education and community programs to enhance healing, personal expression, and universal human understanding.
