Step It Up NYC is not just a dance competition—it’s an inspiring journey that combines creative performance and social impact. This one-of-a-kind competition challenges youth teams to showcase their talent on stage while using their voices to champion meaningful change through a dynamic social impact campaign.
Why is Step It Up unique? It’s the only competition in NYC where 40% of your score is based on your social impact campaign. This means your team’s ability to creatively advocate for important causes is just as vital as the energy and precision of your dance performance.
Applications are due December 12, 2025!

Eligibility:
Interested students can send their information to Gussie.fuller@gmail.com, who will forward it to Dr. Glenda Glover (President, TSU) and Mrs. Barbara Murrell (Community Affairs Liaison).
