Chicago's LargestYesterday, I met with Steppin' Luther to discuss the upcoming 2nd Pre-Annual Chicago's Largest Steppin Set that he host's along with another long time Chicago stepper, Kim Bowie. It didn't take long for the conversation to move through the specifics of the set and the $1000 stepping contest at the Lexington House in Hickory Hills, IL on Saturday September 6th. For those of you wondering about the contest, there will be a first, second and third place in this (the winners will be decided by crowd applause competition). This is the pre-cursor to the second annual 2009 Chicago's Largest Steppers Contest which will have a $5000 cash prize.
We started talking about the history of stepping and I expressed my desire to get information about the steppers scene in the 1970's when the modern era of stepping really began. we talked about
 the History of Stepping Project, and as soon as I started talking about the project Luther got on the phone with Ta Boo, and Kim Bowie who both started overloading my mind with information about the old clubs and the legacy of the dance. We decided that we would all get together and tape this for posterity, after all these guys were all part of and lived through the birth of what is now known as Chicago Style Stepping. This could become something more than a get together... The details will need to be worked out and I'll keep you in the loop as things come together.
As a little reminder, tonight is the "round robin" all category last chance in Chicago to get into the WLSC at Mariellas in Maywood, IL

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 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!
