Yesterday the last reason for me to go to Club D'Elegance left the building. To explain, let me back track a few months. Since the days of 3-G's I was the webmaster of the club's web sites, I transitioned it from 3-Gsclub.Com to ClubDElegance.Com. I watched as they went through the phony ownership changes as the ownership cabal put someone different up as their front man and called it new ownership and back again. My  business relationship with the club waned as I didn't get paid, so the only times I went to "Club Lack-O Elegance" was when one of my clients needed me there to shoot photos or video. In the last month, the decision was made by the mis-management of the club to schedule something in place of the long standing class I took photos at on Saturdays. Reducing my commitment to work at that location to one client who I take photos and shoot occasional video for. Yesterday was that classes last Sunday at "Club Lack O Elegance". Over the last few months, I've seen the club get rid of four stepping classes (One on Wednesday, One on Saturday, and two on Sunday). A continuance of the actions of the past where the mis-management of the club has continued it's pattern of lies and deceit to the steppers community in search of the quick profit. Well, now that I have no good business reason to go to the club, all I can say is at least now I don't have to waste my valuable gas for the trip to the one time great club.

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!
