newsomenews had so much fun with the fatalattractionstep 

They're proud to be known as Baltimore's first citywide high school step team to represent themselves at the CIAA Tournament step-off in their home city for the second time.

It's where they will perform on their biggest stage to date.

"We're coming to bring it," Aniya Newman said.

If you're wondering how they feel about their chances of winning the competition, they'll be quick to tell you.

They're in it to win. You could also just ask their coach Geri McCarter also known as "Coach G."

"We travel across the nation representing the city of Baltimore with class and with trophies," Coach G laughed.

McCarter's squad has yet to take a loss, but it's the impact that's happening away from the stage that she's most proud of.

"Me personally, I keep my stuff bottled up so when I'm in step it allows me to show my aggressive side," FASS Co-captain Stacy Richardson said. "It allows me to step my anger out. Not even just trying to get steps but even in school or just my every day life. I think about what I would do if I was in step."

"It feels good because I don't really express my emotions to people," FASS stepper, Jaydin Flaction, said. "Another way of getting out my emotions is step."

McCarter's goal is to give them guidance. "Conflict resolution," she said. Stress management. Those are the things that kids just aren't learning in schools anymore."

Coach G wants each step she teaches, to go toward changing a narrative in the conversations about young black girls in Baltimore city.
