Deeply Royal, the hip-hop dance squad, is known for their performances at various sporting events and pepfests. On Tuesday Feb. 17, they decided to celebrate Black History month by hosting their 8th annual Step It Up event.

This years’ lineup included hip hop and step groups from various places across the metro area, including Champlin Park, Edina, Robbinsdale Cooper, LoveWorks Academy, and Eastview. Double dutch girls of Pros of the Rope also made an appearance.

Solo artists included Bianca Williams, senior, who shared spoken word, and Malik Andrews (“Dirty White”), senior, who performed an original song. The event was MC’ed by HHS alum Lance Mitchell, and the night closed with a performance by the hosts themselves, Deeply Royal.

Students from all over the metro expressed creativity through spoken word, rap, hip hop, and step. The event is expected to be held again next year.
