Nikeya Williams Editor in Chief

Black Student Association hosted The Bulls Stampede Step Emporium event on Thursday, Feb. 17 in the CAC core. This event, which was one of BSA's newest editions to their Black History month calendar, sought to brillg the campus and community together. " [Bulls Stampede Step Emporium] was one of o~ signature events for black history month," said Bernard Washington, BSA president. "We [wanted to give] people in the community [an opportunity] to showcase some of their talents." Showcasing their talents was exactly the outc;ome of each performer, especially from USF St Petersburg stu­ dent Mandie Fernandez. ''I'm happy that BSA [decided] to [host] this event tonight," Fernandez said. _''I hope that [this event] shows students that life is supposed to be fun." Fernandez, a former color guard member and dance student, started dancing 16 years ago. "I've done every type of dance," Fernandez said. ''I've done [some] jazz and ballet" For her dance routine, Fernandez said she had to work on some of her basic dance moves with some of favorite hip-hop music. "I listen and dance to all the good music," she said. In her performance, Fernandez showcased some of her talented dance moves and color guard skills. Although the performances demonstrated ~reative and original dance moves, BSA initially created Bulls Stampede Step Emporium for local step teams. "[We] couldn't get enough steppers, so we d~cided to turn it into a dance showcase for the campus and commu­ nity," Washington said.
