Over
the last weekend, I got an inordinate number of emails from people
asking about sets and lessons in various locations on different dates,
etc. There were so many, I just gave up trying to answer them (after all
the website lists everything I know about) and decided to write this
column instead. That's right every Chicago style steppers event, lesson,
and workshop I am aware of is listed on SteppersUSA.Com. I don't hold
back and keep anyone's event secret only to be told to a privileged few
who know a special password. We do have a tool available to anyone who
has an account with Yahoo, Google, or AOL (That's about 95% of the
people who browse the web). It's that bar on the bottom of most of the
pages on SteppersUSA.Com. If you want to know about a set near any
particular city in the USA and can't seem to find it in our exhaustive
listing of events, just go to the bar, sign in with your account and ask
our visitors about that set you need to find in your area, or the area
you are planning on visiting. Say you're not a promoter, but you know
about a steppers party that's happening, but you can't find it listed in
our pages… Hit the bar! The bar below that is! Share the information
people need to know… Like date and time, where the set is (addresses are
good), how much it costs… You know the same information you see in our
listings. Can't find a lesson in your area? Hit the bar! Looking for a
steppers club? Hit the bar! Want to find a workshop not in our listings?
Hit the bar! Have a special message for the steppers? Hit the bar! Have
a You Tube Steppers Video everyone needs to see? Hit the bar! Now, that
bar does a lot of stuff… for example, you can read all of the posted
messages from the bar. You can sign in from the bar. You can post
messages from the bar, and of course you can see our members from the
bar. Of course answers you get to your questions may come fast or may
come slow or not at all (your results may vary depending on how much
information others are willing to share), but isn't it worth taking the
chance to get your answers? Hit the bar!

A Message To All Steppers (Click Here to View)
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!
