It's almost October and the New Years Eve pluggers are starting to make their way to SteppersUSA. The reason I mention this is because a year ago it was rare to see pre planning a quarter year in advance. I didn't get any notifications about New Years Eve parties until November (To say the least promotion was lacking). As a matter of fact, the last few years, little by little I've watched the announcements slowly move to a point they are actually being planned and promoted ahead of time. I just goes to show you how far we've come as a genre. Pre - Planning and Pre - Promotion is so important these days... The sooner the better
I was just notified of my flight itinerary for the Best of Both Worlds Dance Extravaganza in Maryland, I'm getting there the day before the affair starts so I'm not starting this big weekend party worn out. There will be parties, and workshops and more parties, throw in performances by three different musical artist's, you know I'll probably be bushed when I fly back to Chicago the morning after the end of the event. There will be lots of photos and video (That's why I'm going to be there). And yes, I'll be updating SteppersUSA as I'm on location... sort of like the nightly news on location. I may even tape a few live reports from this first annual event (That's called wearing more than one hat). This promises to be a really great event, and from what I understand, there are a few rooms left if you want to go.

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 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!
