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.
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.

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.
