Last
night in Hammond IN, I witnessed a great competition, put together by a
guy who has never put a contest together, in a club that wasn't a
steppers club, and I sweated (I hate that part). The "Illinois vs.
Indiana" contest
was for the most part, a well put together and well run contest.
The place filled up with steppers from top to bottom fairly early, and
once DJ Eric ET Taylor started to play, the dance floor saw action.
The contest started somewhere between 10 and 11 and just about everyone
who competed performed at a high level (Just like the temperature in the
room). The contest winners were, Westside Mike & Alexis in first place,
Swan & Sunshine in second Place, and third place went to Carlos and
Sharida. I'll write a complete story later. I want to process the
photos. They will be online an a few hours on SteppersUSA.Com.

For
those of you who promote and submit events to SteppersUSA you may have
noticed we've added some new features. Some are for security purposes
like the captcha coding. Other changes are to make the
Events Submission
Form a bit more uniform and hopefully a bit easier to use. An
important addition is a three choice question where you choose... If you

simple yes, no or Contact me about customers ordering tickets directly

can help you increase

suggestions to make SteppersUSA even better? Please Send us an email.

This is an open message to ALL steppers. Please share it with as many people as possible.
As many of you may already know I started a new web
site for the benefit of the greater steppers community. It's called
The History of Stepping Project. I wish to encourage you to add your
knowledge to the timeline. If you know anything about stepping, please
share this with the public on this site. We are looking for all
information related to stepping from it's beginnings to the present. The
information literally includes everything from clubs and bars which held
steppers sets and parties to contests and the participants and results,
to when different steppers organizations and classes started, who the
instructors were and are; Musical bands, and artists, DJ's, radio and
television personalities, Movies, videos, and photos… literally
everything stepping.
Creating an accurate historic timeline will go a long
way toward helping the community take the next step in its logical
progression as it continues to grow nationwide and will become a
valuable resource for all in the future.
Your input, your knowledge and your effort have made the dance what it
is today. Don't you feel your place (and your organization's) in the
timeline is well deserved? I do!
Please send an email to your members or readers inviting them to
participate. Place a link on your web site also please. All support is
appreciated!
The effort requires more than just posting the information. The need for fact checkers, people willing to do some research exists in this important ongoing project. Just a few minutes a week can make a difference.
Thank You for your time!
