Private Steppers
By Markie Bee
Private
lessons usually consist of one or two students and one instructor. The
private setting allows the student to receive tailored instructions to
meet their primary goal, work on a certain style, perfect a particular
style, work through shortcomings (footwork, turns or proper technique),
or learn at your own pace. One can learn to dance in a short period of
time due to the one-on-one ratio. Most lessons are given in your home,
but I've see people do privates at the clubs too. The price range
generally runs from $35 to $65 per hour and up. Most people take private
lesson so that they don't have to worry about dancing in front of others
or for health reasons... The list goes on and on. Now, with the contest
season upon us, I'm sure I'll be seeing many more dancers showing up in
classes as well as taking private lessons, to polish that "special move"
or learn that "something extra" they feel they need for the competition.
Getting as much dance time in before a contest is crucial, I don't know
how many times I've heard instructors say that. SteppersUSA has a list

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A jury acquitted R&B star R. Kelly of child
pornography charges on Friday, finding
he did not make an explicit videotape showing him having sex with an
underage girl who called him "godfather."
Kelly, whose given name is Robert, cried and repeatedly whispered "thank
you Jesus" after each not guilty finding was announced in the 14-count
case, according to his lawyer. If found guilty, he could have faced a
15-year prison term.
The eight-man, four-woman jury deliberated about six hours over two days
before delivering the verdict. The 14 counts referred to specific acts
depicted in the tape.
Minutes after the verdict was announced in Cook County Criminal Court, a
red-eyed Kelly, 41, strode out of the courthouse via a barricaded
entrance without a word to reporters or fans screaming his name.
He waved and climbed into a sport utility vehicle with tinted windows.
Two teenage girls ran through a hallway in the venerable Chicago
courthouse screaming, "He's not guilty!"

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.
Thank You for your time!
