UCLA senior Nia Dennis showed astonishing skill during a floor routine this past Sunday, gaining the gymnast a near perfect score and creating a new viral star in the world of gymnastics.
Dennis’ “Black Excellence” routine at the Bruins’ meet earned her a near perfect 9.95 out of 10. The display was an homage to her father Casey who “stepped” in college, USA Today reported. Step dancing or “soul stepping,” is a form of competitive dance developed by African American fraternities and sororities, according to the State Library of North Carolina.
