final note (at least for now) on the woman to man ratio articles
published the last couple of days. Last night I compared notes with Lana
Reid. In both cases the women failed to respond which leads me to
believe the issue is actually a non-issue for the women, in other words,
just idle gossip. The men told us what they perceive as being a
problem... and gave us proposed solutions to the "problem", but not one
reply from the women who read this column.
This afternoon or this evening, the new Real Talk episode (#7) will make
it's debut on
www.Learn2Step.Com where you will see Westside Mike snap. It's
pretty rare to hear Mike talk (much) in the first place, but he puts Moe
into the "quiet but listening mode" in this episode. He has a lot to say
about dancing, stepping, freestyle/New skool, contests, and addresses
his critics. You're not going to want to miss the reigning world
champion keeping it real.
There have been some new updates on the
www.CSCSteps.Com web site (for the
uninitiated this is the site where the Majestic Gents, VIP Production,
and Dreamgirl Productions all come together to form CSC, the Chicago
Steppers Convention).
This weekend SITB
Presents Steppin' in Baton Rouge at the
Holiday Inn Baton Rouge Baton Rouge, LA
including a prelim for the WLSC. It's great to see the dance grow into
new regions. Eddie Smith even has ongoing classes
in Baton Rouge, LA

in any manner, 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.
