The Stepping Jaguars Step Team is a student performance group that uses rhythm, movement, and teamwork to build confidence, discipline, and school spirit.
What is stepping? Stepping or step-dancing is a form of percussive dance in which people use their entire body as an instrument to produce complex rhythms and sounds! This is done through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand claps. Stepping may also draw from elements of gymnastics, break dance, tap dance, march, or African and Caribbean dance, or include stunts as a part of individual routines.
Who can step? 4th and 5th graders who consistently show great behavior! 3 R's = Respectful, Responsible, & Ready. If you are interested in joining the step team and practicing for school-wide performances, we would love to have you! This is also a great way to foster great relationships with other GTE students! Dr. Collins will send out information in January for those interested. There will only be one performance this year, the Black History program.
