Our History in Community

Twenty years and over 800 students later, the High Steppers Drill Team Inc., is a non-profit organization which continues to serve as a close order drill, step and dance collective serving the youth of Southern California.  

Military Drill techniques, Sorority Step Dance routines, African Boot Dance, Ballroom, Line and Praise Dances are just a  few of the classes offered.  Educational partnerships and enrichment programs related to physical as well as mental, emotional health are intertwined with drill, step and dance instruction.  Classes are open to the public regardless of drill, step, and dance experience, or ability to pay.

Our prior students have consistently graduated from high school at a higher rate than non-participants.  College admission numbers are also above the regional average.
