Today's Steppers Beat Column is sponsored by: Friday Night Steppin' brought to you by the Club Dyamonds Diva's and DP at Club Dyamonds at 19755 S. Torrence Ave. Lynwood, IL.
Having the time to think of new things for the column is a real chore at times. There's so much on the table at any given moment I have to step back and just clear my mind. I always have my client's needs to tend to before anything else and that's what happened yesterday. I said I was going to relax and take the holiday for myself and it was a good plan. My clients had other ideas.
They found me via phone, text, email, and I'm sure if they needed to they would have sent up flares. I'll try and get that moment or two to myself today, but I have my doubts!
For those of you who remember my columns about the "Stepper of the year" from the days before the contest here's a tidbit…
One of the emails I got in response was from a lady in Seattle who said the good people in the Emerald City (In the land of Gates, NOT OZ) were well into the planning stages of their own Peoples Choice Awards" which is scheduled to happen on September 18, 2010.
Here's a thought… how about someone on the East coast doing the same thing at the same time? And while both coasts are at it, the Midwest could do one too!

Don't jump all over me with some "We should just do one for the whole country" spiel either! I am also well aware Terrance Pratt has been doing an online version of this for a couple of years now.
I'm from Illinois, and the state is what is called a "home rule" state which means each city can have its own jurisdictions. I feel each region of the country should be able to choose from their own without any type of influences than their own local influences.
As the saying goes, all news (and politics) is local.
Even though many don't like the fact... People add their own flavor from their own region so it would be ultimately fair to be judged by their peers instead of a national audience.
We could leave that for the contests and for perhaps… a "National Stepper Of The Year Award" which may have a completely different set of rules which may have more to do with the person and their contributions to all of society… not just how they dance.
I know I've opened (another) can of worms!

Go to “Downloads” on the main navigation menu, and download your customized toolbar. Now, if you have Internet Explorer, you might not see any Ads yet. However, if you have Mozilla Firefox, you should be able to start rating 3rd party Ads immediately, which will pay you 3/10 cents immediately. Yes, it’s a small amount (and right now it's training), but you get that amount for all of your friends up to 7 levels. Once the 10 cent Ads hit next week sometime (I'll be sure to update as we're working with the developers), your organization will already be off and running!

Trust me; time is money, so get on it right away!

A Message To All Steppers

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!
