Is your fraternity or sorority ready to be crowned the next Sprite Step Off champion? If so, get your best moves working because Sprite Step Off is back and better than ever.

“Sprite sees stepping as a vehicle to empower this innovative generation to spark their creativity and fresh thinking while giving back to the community.”
The tournament-style competition returns with a six-city tour kicking off on March 19 in Charlotte, N.C. with teams from across the country competing for two $100,000 grand prizes in scholarships.



Regional event competitions also will take place in Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles and Houston, with the winning teams advancing to the national championship in Washington D.C. on May 21.

This 2011 Sprite Step Off officially kicked-off with an online application submission which began Feb. 10 and concluded on March 13. Interested fraternities and sororities entered the competition by submitting a short performance video that showcased their step talents and highlighted their positive contributions to their community. Sprite Step Off breaks the mold of traditional step competitions by creating a platform that focuses on scholarship, education and community service.
