As 2008 draws to a close, I find myself doing so much to clean up those loose ends, I'm happy I completed and published the year end wrap-up yesterday. For those who missed it, it's called,
That Was The Year 2008. On the bright side this is the last article of 2008! I already know I'm not going to get much more done today, even though I'm building an online store for a new client, that has to be put on hold for tonight's New Years party at the Marmond Grand. There's lot's of video to shoot and I need some rest before I go there. Last weekend Mellow Khris and I worked a private birthday party. It wasn't anything really special (except for the people attending), but I bring this up for a reason... There was one couple (of many) that were stepping... They were stepping as good as any finalist I've seen in the WLSC. I've never seen them before... They were young but they were old skool stepping (real freestyle like Ty Skippy, but with more energy). I've said this to friends before... I really think the best steppers in Chicago are hardly ever seen in clubs or competitions (which in one way is sort of sad). It's a pleasure to see pure dancers enjoying themselves. More people really need to dance for self enjoyment and forget about the "social pressures" presented in the stepping community. If you still haven't decided which New Years party to go to, be sure to look at the Steppers Calendar page. Lets hope everyone will have a happy, prosperous, and exciting new year. Have a safe and happy New Years Eve! In tomorrow's column, I will go to my favorite local reader, Mama Czenee for some predictions for 2009.

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!
