The 2023 National Collegiate Performing Arts (NCPA)™ and National High School Performing Arts (NHSPA)™ Championships are coming LIVE to Harlem’s World-Famous Apollo Theater in NYC on April 22nd!
The two-and-a-half-hour show is packed with intensity as teams passionately compete for $10,000+ (split with select Harlem charities), school pride, NCPA/NHSPA National Step Championship crowns and the everlasting glory of earning NCPA College Step All-American distinction.
With hundreds of the Nation’s best college/high school step performers, the Championships feature a dynamic “March Madness” type bracket structure, with Division champions, a Final Four and championship head-to-head Step-Offs.
The legendary Apollo—the soul of American culture—plays a vital role in cultivating emerging artists and launching legends. Since its founding, the Apollo has served as a center of innovation and a creative catalyst for Harlem, the city of New York, and the world. The venue has played a major role in the emergence of jazz, swing, bebop, R&B, gospel, blues, and soul — all quintessentially American music genres. Today, the Apollo remains a beacon for the arts in America and is now a non-profit multidisciplinary performing arts commissioner and presenter.
