When I've heard something like steppers don't drink (enough), and they don't help the bar through the years, it's always been my opinion these particular people just don't see the big picture. Clubs that look at steppers that way through history (at least over the last few years), have not fared too well. Owners and managers (and some bartenders) get greedy and forget what the steppers did for them in the first place. That's what happened to the Razz Ma Tazz, and that was what was happening at 3-G's (Club D'Elegance) until new management took over. I got an email today from the Steppers & Walkers Restaurant in Birmingham Alabama was voted a Birmingham "IN" spot through a campaign sponsored by the Birmingham Regional Chamber of Commerce. This one year old Restaurant and Club was started by a couple from Chicago who wanted to bring Chicago style stepping to Birmingham. During their Anniversary celebration, they hosted a beginners contest which was a prelim for the WLSC. They've made stepping work for their location. If there was decent management at the Razz, that set probably would still be going strong like it did over the 10 years prior prior to it's fate on July 1, 2006.
Another "new steppers club" is Orbies in Hammond, Indiana. The owners have made the commitment to be a steppers place with promises of more contests and a new Friday night set with DJ Eric "ET" Taylor. The nickname of 3-G's East (referring to the good old days at 3-G's). The only negatives I've heard about the club involved the heat when the place was packed for their contest, (which the owner said would be fixed), and the complaint that there aren't any windows (The place is downstairs so I don't think that could be fixed). My suggestion would involve a camera on the outside and a big screen connected to the camera. All of the bars except the Razz are open and deserve your patronage.

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 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!
