Who Sees or Cares What You Wear
When You Are Out Steppin'?


Guess What? Everybody!
Steppin' is about class and style!  When you take the time to put on your best, you are at your best  on the dance floor. You feel good and it shows. 
Ladies if you want to be casual it's okay, just make sure if you are going to wear jeans, accessorize, and put on the sexist pair of high heels in your closet.
 Guys "no suit and tie that night" that's okay too.  Just make sure you are coordinated.  And guys the ladies
do not like seeing you Steppin'
in shoes with no shine on them.

heck Out Ebony (February 2012 Issue) Excellent Article on Chicago Style Steppin' written by: Margena A. Christian


Let's talk About Ebony Magazine!

Watch for February 2012 Issue of Ebony.  I understand they have an excellent article on Chicago Style Steppin'.  Over the years Ebony/Jet Magazine have done several articles in support of the dance we all love.  Johnson Publishing Company based in Chicago, Illinois the home of Steppin'  recognized Steppin' long before the dance became popular all over the country.  Keeping Steppin' in the forefront as a African-American dance for all people, for all generations.

Ebony Article written by: Margena A. Christian,
  sister of St. Louis Stepper & Founder of Swagg Steppers, Cheryl Christian.  Many thanks to Margena we love seeing our dance featured in such a prestigious magazine.

26 Years of Steppin'

November 2011, Chicago, Illinois


Stop Trying to Kill Old Skool
Steppin' & Boppin'!


Steppin' does not belong to just the younger generation!  It belongs to all generations.  For instance: Hip Hop is the choice of many of our younger generation as well as some older generations.  Ask any Hip Hop Artist where they got their roots and the first thing you will hear: from the blues, R&B, Contemporary Jazz Artist, etc.  They take pride in saying which artist back in the day inspired them.  Giving respect and recognition to their favorite artist.  You got to give respect to Old Skool Steppin' because without it there would be no New Skool!  Old Skool is alive and well in Chicago.  There are just as many Old Skool Sets as there are New Skool in Chicago.  Old Skool Steppers give their respect to all Boppers, Boppin' is their roots.  So just pick the one (Old or New) that suits you and go and
have some fun!

  January 16th is a National Holiday.
Rev/Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
 We honor him this day and everyday!


How proud we as African-Americans are of the father of the civil rights movement, Civil Rights Activist & Humanitarian: The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the 50's & 60's his hard work and dedication was an understatement.  Without his dedication to the freedom for all men & woman of all colors, so much that we enjoy today would not have been possible. 

In 1968, the year of Dr. King's death "The Art Chicago Style Steppin'" was born, the dance didn't have a name, the name came later in the early 70's.  Previously many Chicago Old Skool Steppers & Boppers had walked with Dr. King in support of his dream, his dream was our dream.  Dr. King fought so hard for all of us.  Proud to say I know because I was there living this very trying part of history.

REMINDERS!

Sliders & Boppers

 
Lets just take a moment to recognize St. Louis' Sliders and Boppers.  For the Boppers you have our utmost respect without you Steppin' would not have been created.  For those who don't know, Boppin' is the root of Steppin' and that is a fact.  To all our Sliders: Slidin' is the alternate dance, its popularity grows everyday in every city.  Even if you can't Step yet you can always get up on the floor and do your thing and you don't need a partner.  That's the beauty of Slidin' everybody gets a chance to hit the dance floor.  St. Louis has got to be the capital of Slidin'.  I have never seen so many different slides, that takes a lot of creativity.
