“Our school was absolutely thrilled with the Soul Steps performance and I felt that your group went above and beyond in terms of not only their artistry but also taking the time to educate the audience about the history and cultural impact of step. What was especially gratifying was the connection that Maxine and each member of her ensemble had with the audience, whether it was for our lower/middle school or upper school students. She seamlessly knew how to engage the students and staff, regardless of age and made it a very warm open space for artistic expression and sharing.”

“Soul steps has made a powerful impact in Cranberry Pines Elementary school, helping students explore African-American culture while building unity, confidence, and leadership. The program and powers are students, specially those less likely to engage, through movement, communication, and cultural pride.”
