Walt
Disney
World –
Launching
a New
Step
Show
Event
In 2008
Walt
Disney
World’s
marketing
team was
evaluating
the
creation
of a
youth
and
Greek
step
show
event to
compliment
the HBCU
football
game
that
takes
place
Labor
Day
Weekend.
Disney
contacted
the NSSA
to
assist
with
step
show
development
(rules
and
protocol)
as well
as judge
selection.
At the
inaugural
Disney
Step
Classic
(2008)
the NSSA
provided
judges
for the
step
show
event.
In
partnership
with
Disney,
the NSSA
added an
instructional
youth
step
clinic
to
compliment
the step
show at
subsequent
Disney
Step
Classic
events.
MTSU –
Judging the Homecoming Show
Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) Office of Greek Life sought consistency and uniformity in judging for its annual fall homecoming step show. The NSSA conducted a “Step Show Judging Fundamental” workshop for the Greek Council step team members (and judging candidates) several weeks prior to the step show event – to details NSSA rules and scoring. The NSSA then provided full service judging (judge selection, judging management of show, |
|
auditing) for the MTSU show. The NSSA has worked with MTSU judging the homecoming step show event for the past three years.

Johnson &
Johnson – Kicking off a Sales Meeting, with Stepping
In 2011, Johnson and Johnson sought a unique
way to kick off a pharmaceutical sales meeting for a
new product launch at a resort event in Florida. The
marketing team sought a theme around “power.” Two
NSSA Certified Instructors developed a 6-minute
routine that integrated the product and the power
theme. |
|
Over a
3-day weekend (in Florida) the NSSA instructors
taught a group of 10 locally recruited steppers the
corporate-themed routine. This 12 member step team –
consisting of the NSSA instructors and the local
step team talent – performed the 6 minute routine in
front of over 2,000 Johnson & Johnson sales reps and
Senior Management to open up the Sales Meeting to a
rousing success. |

Enhancing Sprite Step Off II (2011)
Judging Process and Event Protocol
In 2011, the Coca-Cola Company sought the
NSSA’s expertise to manage the judging and
auditing for the 2nd year of the Sprite Step
Off national championship collegiate
stepping series. The NSSA held the “Step
Show Judging Fundamentals” workshop in each
of the regional qualifying sites (such as
Charlotte, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles,
and New York) for the Sprite regional events
for the NPHC members recruited to judge at
the local level. The NSSA then provided full

Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores sought a
way to connect with consumers and their
