are a few announcements coming up in the very near future concerning the
history of stepping project and the upcoming roundtable video taping,
and a few other items which will be of interest to the stepping
community... I just wanted to wet your whistles. More to come next week.
The number of visits to SteppersUSA this week broke all records with
almost 19,000 unique pages viewed on Monday with people viewing an
average of 2.75 pages each. Almost 40 percent of the visitors were "new
visitors", people who have never visited the site before. Several
hundred new subscribers to the daily newsletter didn't hurt either.
Thank you all for visiting SteppersUSA!
Have you taken the time to register someone to vote in this election?
Time is running out. We don't want to win the popular vote and leave the
election in the hands of the very people we want to replace (remember
eight years ago?) My views are well known. Remember this Sunday in
Dolton, IL it's Steppin For Obama at The Dorchester Banquet Hall.
Steppers it's time to represent your true support! I'm not trying to
dismiss the weekend Mardi Gras party in Milwaukee but this weekend is
important to all of our future with the Presidential debate tonight and
the party on Sunday, hopefully the community will see and act on what's
really important to all of our futures.
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
in any manner, please
Send us an email.

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.
