Stepping is a small portion of what NPHC does, among academics, community service, and leadership. Stepping originated from African dances, similar to the gumboot dance, that create rhythmic beats simply with the use of hands, feet, and sometimes props.

Strolling is the process of members simultaneously dancing to a song while moving or hopping in sync.
