Caruthers Hot Stepperz Dance Troupe promotes the performing art of dance while helping to motivate youth and the young adult to reach their dance aspirations.  Our goal is to work as a team, while entertaining those that call upon us to perform; we give this gift with a charitable spirit.  For more info, ask us for a Troupe Brochure.
