One Step Beyond is an established group of dancers from Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. We receive consistent high acclaim for our lively and professionally delivered performances throughout the UK. Our repertoire includes our own fast paced and highly visual dances in the Appalachian style, percussive acappella routines and contra rhythms.

        We dance to live music, played by our own musicians 

Two Steps Back.

    One Step Beyond are able to perform at a variety of venues, including concerts and ceilidhs. 

We can also give street performances.

We dance at festivals and other public events, and also accept private bookings. 

The number of performances we give and the length of each performance are flexible but we need to agree these details in advance. 

We usually make our own announcements throughout the performance, unless you prefer otherwise, to build rapport with the audience. 

We are also able to run workshops in Appalachian stepping at any level, including 'flatfooting'.

                                    


Appalachian Stepping 

        Appalachian stepping originated in the isolated settlements of the Appalachian Mountains of the United States of America.
Sometimes referred to as ‘clogging’…its roots can be traced back to the music and dance of the early settlers who came from             the British Isles and other areas of Europe. 

      Think………18th century ‘global dance fusion’!!   From the Old World to the New…and back again!

performance requirements

One Step Beyond requires a dance space of approximately 16ft X 16 ft (~5-6m2) with a wooden floor or a suitable alternative for percussive dance. We also need a PA system. We prefer to make use of the venue's own PA system and sound desk if available. We need time for setting-up and completing a sound check. The sound check is vital for this type of performance and ensures that the audience enjoys our show at its best
We can provide our own dance floor and PA system if necessary. On these occasions it is essential that we have access to the venue for our trailer and towing vehicle
