What it takes to be a Northside Stepper

Story by Antil Snoddy – Staff Reporter

   The Northside Steppers are a talented group of individuals who have continually kept up an impressive reputation. The team recently had an open tryout where new students had the opportunity to show off their skills.

   Students who want to join step should have a determined and devoted mindset as well as being fearless. Being aggressive and passionate in their performances and putting in the work at practice makes a good stepper, as well as wanting to get better and learn from those around them. 

   The team is very rigorous when it comes to who is on the team. They aim to represent North at the highest standard and pick the best performers for this.

   When wanting to become a good stepper, students should aim to put on a brave face. When performing they cannot act scared or nervous, steppers have to walk on the stage and ooze confidence.

   The step team has two teams: competition and performance. Not only do they perform at the annual step show but they also perform at pep assemblies, halftime at basketball and volleyball games as well as for any others seeking performances. 

   Being a Northside Stepper takes confidence and conviction. Performing with the group takes a lot of practice behind the scenes. With many new faces and opportunities, the success of the team is inevitable.
