After Shock Saturday
By Markie Bee
It looks like the earthquake wasn't the only moving and
shaking going on around the country. Yesterday saw a flurry of
announcements to the dance community by several steppers organizations.
The interesting part really isn't that there were a bunch of major
announcements by any means. First let's take a look at what here's the
Dreamgirls Convention announcement. Three organizations working
together to put this November extravaganza out there for the steppers
community. But wait! I've also heard rumors in the Hand Dance Community
about a Chicago convention involving them also. Is this the convention
they are talking about? Time will tell. Pete Frazier is making an
announcement too. Using his Majestic Gents moniker, he is announcing the
1st Annual Steppers and Swingout Contest in Baton Rouge LA featuring
a $12,000.00 Cash Give Away. In Dallas Texas, DBJ Productions is doing a
Line
Dance Workshop showing that steppers can do more than step and
involve the wider dancing community. Fix your Web Site David! This week
The Majestic Gents sent out their
new plugger for the Florida Convention. I hear there is something
new that may be added to the
October
event in MD too.
Hey do you have a plugger? SteppersUSA will post it for
Free! Just
Send us an email
with the plugger attached!
If you or anyone you know has any photos, footage or information about
or from any Steppers contests for the
History of Stepping Project,
I'd love to add it to what we have. It's Your History! OR
If you have a personal recollection concerning stepping or if you care to help
with the
History of Stepping Project in any manner, please
Send us an email.

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
The 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.
