While I was going through the emails last week, I noticed I got an email from
Darryl Davis concerning the long running Chicago Style Steppin' Instructional Video he sells at www.intro2step.com. He stated in the email that over 20,000 copies have been sold. Quite a feat for $24.95 a Copy considering most instructional DVD's have been selling recently for much less. But money isn't the reason I bring this up. It's the sheer number of DVD's sold. Now, in the wider market place beyond stepping, I'm sure many DVD's sales way out perform that number, but what I wanted to point out that over 20,000 copies of this DVD have been sold. I've heard people say there aren't even 10,000 steppers in Chicago. I've always differed with that "guestimation".  As I said in the June 19th issue relating to the growth of this site, "SteppersUSA.Com's popularity continues to grow at the speed of stepping. We averaged over 1800 page impressions a day (that's an average of 76 visitors an hour 24 hours a day). we have managed to increase our unique page views each month with visitors from every state in the Union (there are also several hundred visitors from Canada that visit us every month). No one can tell me there isn't wide interest in this dance!" I'm writing this at 3 in the morning and there are 107 people on the site right now (I guess those 10,000 people are working on shift's just to visit SteppersUSA)! There is much more interest in this dance than people think. We are only limited by our imaginations and our innate ability to shoot ourselves in the foot by squabbling over our differences instead of celebrating those differences. The numbers are there for us, we just have to recognize the fact that everyone just doesn't dance as often. When you think big, and you act big, you will see big results... Just don't forget the small details! Have comments, something to say? Please Send us an email.

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...

Support the History of Stepping Project

Please copy the message below and send it on to as many steppers as you can please!

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!
