In Macomb County, it’s “Step Afrika.” The performances blend black fraternities and sororities stepping style with traditional African dances. The show includes songs, storytelling, humor, and audience participation. The Performance takes place Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Macomb Community Performing Arts Center in Clinton Township.
