Maintaining Perspective

Sometimes we get so deeply into what we are doing what ever we may be doing at a given time, it's easy to loose perspective from the larger picture. Sometimes we recognize when this happens and we do something about it, sometimes we don't. Say for example you have been working hard on learning a new move. You dissect it, break it down to each foot fall on each related beat, but when you attempt to put it together, you just can't seem to make it work for you. If you're lucky, someone who hasn't been practicing with you notices what the problem is when you try the move and helps you to correct the error. The reasons why this situation worked out could have been for many particular reasons including the most obvious (the other person has done that particular move before) to other not so obvious reasons. The main thing to take from this example, is there are many perspectives to each situation and sometimes another persons experience and view helped out. Having the ability to "step back" every once in a while can be just as helpful. I've done it when working on web site designs, I've seen promoters do it, as well of some of our best steppers. Having a perspective bigger than the dance can, in many cases make the whole genre' better in the long run.

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!
