Eleanor Roosevelt HS Step Team Claims National Title

Eleanor Roosevelt HS Step Team Claims National Title

The Eleanor Roosevelt High School boys step team, Dem Raider Boyz, performs at the National Cham- pionship, where they won the top prize for the fourth time in five years.

On Saturday, May 26, Dem Raider Boyz Step Squad from Eleanor Roosevelt High School (ERHS) travelled to Newark, N.J., to attend Youth Step USA’s National High School Stepping Championship. The championship featured 20 of the most elite step teams from around the country, divided into three divisions (Boys, Girls and Co-ed Division). Dem Raider Boyz entered the venue as the reigning National Champions, as they placed First in the 2014, 2016 and 2017 National Championships. By the end of the night, they earned the highest score of all the divisions (393/400) and were named the 2018 National High School Stepping Champions. With four wins, Dem Raider Boyz currently hold the record for most national titles and are the only team to win three years consecutively. Their coach, Richard Melvern, also an alumnus of ERHS, was named the 2018 National Coach of the Year.

This has been a benchmark year for Dem Raider Boyz, as they were also selected to be contestants on NBC’s hit TV show World of Dance, which premiered Tuesday, May 29.
