Being
a tech type and seeing my share of "Quick and dirty tricks" to do one
thing or another, I was wondering if there were some "Quick and dirty
tricks" to help new steppers learn about the dance, it's history, how to
step, how to find a good set or party, etc. What type of information can
be shared with our audience? Well just about anything you can imagine
that would make the experience better for another person (usually
because you may have experienced something that wasn't better).
What are the top things in your
experience that will help someone in the dance or the community at
large? I remember years ago you would hear about people complaining
about people "stealing" (share) someone's moves. Of course the
statement is ludicrous simply because it's a dance form, and if you can
improve on your own dance by using parts of what someone else has
mastered, it's good for the dance. Just think, if someone didn't
share the basic stepping pattern, we wouldn't be here talking about
and dancing this wonderful dance. Have some ideas to share, Tips,
suggestions for the steppers community? Send an email to
webmaster@steppersusa.com today! Oh! if you haven't noticed fan
favorite DJ Mellow Khris returns to Club D'Elegance tomorrow!

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!
