When the news machine we all call Pete Frazier starts grinding out information it's comparable to a dam bursting. First you get a bit of a trickle then follows the flood. Yesterday I told you about report that the finals of the WLSC will be filmed as part of preparation for a motion picture about stepping by Universal Pictures. I also talked about stepping on the small screen. They're hitting the morning TV show circuit in Chicago starting with Fox 32 TV on Wednesday September 3rd. He talked about bringing a few dancers to the television studios to do this. Yesterday, he released the early bird pricing for the contest finals plus this year we actually have online ticketing both on www.majesticgents.net and www.wlscontest.com as well as ticket locations around Chicago and around the country. When You hit the main page of www.WLSContest.com you'll hear the new radio commercial too. Club D'Elegance has consolidated it's ownership and has made Sunshine The promotions manager. One of the first changes she made is to bring back Mellow Khris on Tuesday nights. You can view the the entire lineup by going here and clicking on the plugger icon. There have been quite a few changes in the lineup.
In addition to yesterday's message: So far Dave Maxx, Donnie Davis, and Tanya Nash are the three names mentioned most as the 6 count gurus. Drop me a line at webmaster@steppersusa.com and tell me who you feel should be the person should be the benchmark for the Basics. I've gotten some emails about adding Claudell Jackson to the list too.

A political idea... not democratic or republican... more of a lesson on economics perhaps. What would happen if the American public just stopped buying new cars completely for say three months until they put a car on the market that gets 100 miles per gallon for the same price we are paying for new cars now? Economic pressure would make those companies (both domestic and foreign) dust off those technologies they have had for the last 40 years but shelved due to pressures from the oil companies. You may ask why am I talking about that here? I just saw a commercial from a car company saying we want cars that get 30 miles per gallon... I call that out of touch! Personally I want one that gets 1000 miles to the gallon... or even better all hydrogen cars. The companies and the politicians only do what we the people let them get away with.

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!
