Step Sing Faculty & Staff
2026-01-29 19:00 - 21:30
Step Sing is an honored tradition where student groups compete in amazing performances involving choreography, dancing, and singing. Faculty and staff have participated in the past to support our students as they raise money for Caring for the Pride. Last year was the first-time faculty and staff did it since 2020 and it went over well. So well, that we are going to do it again next year🙂
The students LOVE seeing their professors, mentors, and members of the UNA family on the stage so it would mean a lot to have as many participants as possible. (If you aren’t comfortable dancing we will still need help backstage and doing various other things to help, put the show on, so please don’t let the dancing aspect deter you from participating.)
Calviee Tandy will be choreographing the performance again this year! The Step Sing dates are January 29-31. 7:00 p.m. nightly. If you are interested in joining our team please email Calviee at ctandy@una.edu.
