answer the volume of email I got in the last 24 hours, Yes there will be
more video interviews in the near future.
I'm finally caught up on the events on SteppersUSA and the other sites I
am the webmaster for. I even had the time to order one of those new
Google phones you know, the one that will do more than the iPhone and
isn't locked into using Apple's proprietary software and the iTunes
store. Everything on the phone is open source which means I'll be able
to get what I want on my phone instead of what the proverbial "they"
want. I don't play much on the phone, but I suspect I'll do a bit more
on this phone. I've been hearing some more talk about how the economy is
affecting steppers choices when it comes to travel. Something I alluded
to in a previous column and something DJ Rodney Mack talked about in his
interview was the creation of regional parties. Perhaps one in the
northeast, one in the southeast, one in the midwest, one in the south,
one in the west, and one on the west coast. To make it more interesting
let's say we declare one day to be national Chicago style steppers day
and on that day each region holds it's steppers party. It could create a
great opportunity to introduce people all over the country in their
region to Chicago style stepping. I have lots of other ideas about this,
but I'd like to hear what ideas you may have. Please send me an email at
webmaster@steppersusa.com.

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.
