Our Mission

Macy’s at Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall is teaming up with the
Pretty Precise Step Team, a nonprofit group that offers minority at-risk youth an opportunity to express
themselves through the art of stepping and dance, for the first Pretty Rich Culture Experience and
Fashion Show. Scheduled for Oct. 21, 2023, from 12-4 p.m. at Macy’s in Scottsdale Fashion Square,
located at 7014 E. Camelback Rd., the event will take place at the second-floor entrance and proceeds
will benefit the Pretty Precise Step Team.

The event commemorates the 3 rd anniversary of the culturally diverse dance squad and gives
participants an opportunity to demonstrate the poise and confidence that comes from being a part of
the multi-faceted team.

Founded during the COVID-19 pandemic by mother-daughter duo, Lateka Curtis and Cheyenne James,
Pretty Precise Step Team was started to give minority, at-risk youth an opportunity to express
themselves through the art of stepping and dance. 

“Three years ago, our goal was to connect with minority at-risk youth and allow them to express
themselves through the power of dance, but this has grown bigger than I ever imagined,” said Curtis.
“We have tripled in size and are on a path to keep growing exponentially. I knew there was a need for an
organization that provided a community to these girls, with things like mentorship, academic and
mental health support and a safe environment of sisterhood.”

The Macy’s partnership offers style, makeup and self-esteem guidance the Pretty Precise Step Team.
The company has also provided donations of clothing, beauty products and more.
The upcoming fashion show will be emceed by Channel Powe, a Valley education, political and
equity powerhouse. Audiences will also enjoy a DJ, food and local “Boss Baby” vendors, plus enter for a
chance to will a Michael Kors handbag, a Coach watch and more

“Pretty Precise is dedicated to serving our youth both on and off the stage and I am beyond proud of
what we have achieved in just three short years,” Curtis added. “I cannot wait to watch the future
unfold!”

Since its inception, Pretty Precise has taken the world by storm. With a unique style and diversity, the
organization provides a sisterhood and a safe environment to keep youth off the street. The team has
been featured on national media, including Good Morning America. In 2023 they participate in the
Fiesta Bowl program as well as the 2023 Superbowl Extravaganza, both in Arizona. They also competed
in national dance and step competitions across the country.
