Organizational Background
The
National Step Show Alliance (NSSA)
is a 4 year old 501(c)3 non-profit
organization created by alumni
members of the Black Greek council
in the fall of 2005. Founded in
Nashville, Tennessee the NSSA has
worked with youth and Greek
organizations in the "stepping
community" across the country to
strengthen appreciation of the art
form. Through step leagues,
certification, workshops, and events
the NSSA focuses on growing the art
form - especially among youth step
teams.
The growing prevalence of
Childhood obesity is a growing
concern, especially in the
African-American community. The NSSA
is using the popularity of step to
provide a format for weekly exercise. |

Mission
The
aim of the
National Step Show Alliance is
two-fold:
To Use stepping as a means
to reach out to middle and high
school students with “step
mentoring” programs; and
To
Serve as an umbrella
organization for step to preserve
and archive the rich cultural
history of step dance.
Through the collection of
information from people nationwide
within the “step community” the
NSSA is able to provide members
data and “best practices” for step
team development and step show event
planning.
With annual membership
(new or renewal) in the NSSA
you will receive a copy of
"Stepping: A Reference
Guide".
