Steppin’ rooted in Chicago and is the history of an African American dance. Chicago Steppin’ is the jazz of ballroom dancing and the reflection of the social history and experience of Chicago’s African American social life. In fact, African American Social History is communicated through dance. Steppin’ is a dance of two or more people dancing as partners to 6- or 8-count beats to musical sounds of Jazz, Soul, Funk, R&B, Neo Soul, or Rap music.
Dancing keeps us moving and expanding our life space. We come together to move, then we move together. Dancing and moving to the music of your soul is so important. Dance has alway been in every society. It’s needed today. Join me as we explore culture through movement and music.
The goal is to constantly refine our movement through drills, building strength and always having fun.
