Sean Burns, a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, stands as a trailblazer in the realm of teaching the art of stepping to youth. A Spring 2006 initiate of the Gamma Xi Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. in St. Paul, Minnesota, Sean earned his stripes as an educator and has dedicated himself to shaping young minds through the rhythmic expression of stepping, serving as a beacon of inspiration at an elementary school where he holds the unique position of full-time step instructor.

In 2020, Prodeo Academy in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, recognized Sean’s expertise and passion by appointing him as their full-time step instructor, a pioneering move in the educational landscape. In this capacity, Sean integrates stepping into the school curriculum, providing students with dedicated instructional periods akin to those for art, music, or gym classes.

We at Watch The Yard set up an interview with Burns, who has a Masters in Educational Psychology from the University of Minnesota, to talk to him about his position, what it means to be a full time step instructor in a school and the benefits that this type of instruction has on young people.
