Hi-Steppers

Hi-Steppers

The Hi-Steppers are the third oldest precision dance group in the nation. Now in their sixth decade of performance, the Hi-Steppers have performed for audiences across the Unites States, Canada, and Europe. No group in the U.S. has received more invitations to nationally-televised bowl games, professional football games, or national parades than the Hi-Steppers.

The Hi-Steppers became widely known for their high kicks and precision dancing which is still their trademark today. The Hi-Stepper tradition, though, has been built on more than performance.

Known as Mississippi's Goodwill Ambassadors, the dancers and their longtime director, Mrs. Anna Bee, have given their time and energy to many worthy causes, such as Easter Seals and Toys for Tots. Nursing homes, senior centers, children's homes, and a host of other services have benefited from the Hi-Steppers' generosity and kindness.
