Stepping or step-dancing is a form of percussive dance in which the participant's entire body is used as an instrument to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand claps.  Though stepping may be performed by an individual, it is generally performed by groups of three or more, often in arrangements that resemble military formations. 

  The H. M. Arndt Step Team were the featured performers at half-time for the womens' and mens' basketball games at Lenoir-Rhyne University on January 7, 2009 when they played Brevard College and on January 31, 2009 when they played Tusculum.  The team was very excited to be given the opportunity to display their "stepping" ability.
