When I was young, a year was a long time, three hundred and sixty
five looks long when you write it out. Of course as time marches,
a year doesn't seem as long as it used to. Today's newsletter is
Volume 1 Issue 365. Happy First Birthday to the newsletter! I attempted
to do a newsletter back in 2004 when I first started this website, but
because of a variety of mostly technical problems I discontinued it. The
year doing a steppers events newsletter has been interesting to say the
least and was a bit of a risk to say the least. The gamble was this;
would people be interested in hearing about steppers events nationally
on a daily basis? Had interest in stepping grown enough to support daily
reporting and updating in the inboxes of more than a few people? After
one year and over 2000 subscribers, I have the answers to those
questions. Not only is the steppers community interested in events in
other cities, they crave even more information! By the end of August
last year, the Steppers Beat column saw it's beginning. a bit of news
(as I got it), a bit of opinion, and a bit of dish added for variety.
The column unlike a blog usually doesn't have any utility for
programmatically commenting by registered users. I ask for comments the
old fashioned way, no registration, just drop me an email when you have
something to say. Other features added through the first year include
the featured set, featured class, the weeks workshops, and contests.
After a year I'll ask you, what else would you like to see in the
newsletter and the site? Would you like to contribute? I love it when
others who have something to say, so I encourage you to write as a
contributor. I'll try to make the newsletter in the second year as
dynamic as the steppers community is.
In other Steppers News:
Have I mentioned Mellow Khris returns to Club D'Elegance (3-G's)
tonight.
Jerry Townsend's Cloud 9 Tuesday class has moved to Club Escalade.
That's not the real story. He's rebuilding the dance floor at Club
Escalade to double size to accommodate the class size.

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!
