This fall Artist2Artist, a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting performing artists, is championing The League of Step. Founded in 2020 by Athens’ own Torrance Wilcher (also known for his rap music under the name Squallé), The League of Step teaches step dancing to the youth while giving them the tools to work together to create a better community, emphasizing that you “can’t have community without unity.” The team has become an important force backing the success of local youth; to stay on the team, members must perform community service and maintain their grades. After a performance from The League of Step, Guardians of the Jukebox will put on an MTV-themed ‘80s dance party, including hits from Madonna, Toto, Lionel Richie, Bon Jovi and more. ‘80s attire is encouraged. All proceeds from the event benefit The League of Step.
