Step Show As Part Of National Tour Stops At Ted Constant Center

     The 2008 Boost Mobile “Stomping On The Yard” National Step Show Tour will make its first stop at Old Dominion University on Sunday, March 30, 2008, at 5 p.m. The step show will be held at Ted Constant Convocation Center, located on 45th Street and Monarch Way, and will be hosted by Terrence J. from BET’s 106 & Park.
     Local Fraternity and Sorority step teams will be in competition in the fifth annual national step show tour which started in the Fall of 2003. It has since grown to entertain crowds of thousands all across college campuses.  
    “Stepping is great,” says Chris Crawford, CEO and Founder of the Stomping On The Yard National Step Show Tour. “But we like to think stepping is the honey to get people interested in education. If high school students see the different National Pan Hellenic Members having fun, working together and positively impacting their communities in groups that you can only be a part of if you’re in college, maybe they’ll want to go.”
