Free Community Steppin' Classes

Move to the Beat.
Heal in community.

Two free weekly Steppin’ classes built for physical, mental, and social health — especially for the caregivers and communities the healthcare system leaves behind.
About Phamily Steppers

A beat-aligned community, since 2011

Phamily Steppers is a Los Angeles-based, 501(c)(3) non-profit devoted to Chicago Style Steppin’ — a structured, improvisational partnered dance built around music’s central pulse. What might look like ordinary “huckin’ and buckin'” to an outsider is, in our classes, disciplined footwork held in harmony with a partner and the Beat.

Physical health

Cardiovascular fitness, balance, and flexibility.

Mental health

Stress reduction through joyful, rhythmic movement.

Social health
