KALISPELL — The Wachholz College Center is thrilled to announce two shows coming to the Flathead Valley in March. R.E.S.P.E.C.T., an electrifying homage to the legendary Aretha Franklin® will be live on March 8, and Step Afrika!, the world’s leading authority on the artform of stepping, is performing on March 26th.
R.E.S.P.E.C.T. invites audiences on a powerful journey through love, tragedy, courage and triumph, showcasing the unforgettable life of Aretha Franklin through a stunning soundtrack of her iconic hits. This isn’t just a tribute concert; it’s a unique Aretha experience featuring beloved songs like “Natural Woman,” “Think,” “I Knew You Were Waiting for Me,” “Chain of Fools,” “Respect,” and many more.

Step Afrika! blends percussive dance styles practiced by historically African American fraternities and sororities; traditional African dances; and an array of contemporary dance and art forms into a cohesive, compelling artistic experience. Performances are much more than dance shows; they integrate songs, storytelling, humor and audience participation. The blend of technique, agility, and pure energy makes each performance unique and leaves the audience with their hearts pounding.
Step Afrika! has earned Mayor’s Arts Awards for Outstanding Contribution to Arts Education, Innovation in the Arts, Excellence in an Artistic Discipline, and was inducted into the National Association of Campus Activities (NACA) Hall of Fame, the first Dance Company to earn this honor. Step Afrika! headlined President Barack Obama’s Black History Month Reception and performed at the first ever Juneteenth Celebration at the White House. The Company is featured prominently at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History & Culture with the world’s first stepping interactive exhibit. Learn more about Step Afrika!
