8 count vs 6 count vs bop Chicago Style Steppin
มุมมอง 5K9 หลายเดือนก่อน
From the beginning of my steppin career I have been trying to figure out the difference between 6-count and 8-count. As I look back at old videos of my beginning, I realize that I started with the 1-2 basic starting on the right foot on the down beat like you do for 6-count. We used a modified 6-count. I think it was counted "5-6 step-step-step, step-step-step" Since then I've taken New School ...
Chicago Steppin Lesson: Women's Basic With Various Timing Options Part 1

Learn the "1-2 Basic", "Bounce Basic" and combined "1-2 Bounce Basic". The "1-2 Bounce Basic" is a very common basic that you see advanced dancers fall naturally into on the dance floor. Incorporate this early in your dance to look smooth and natural. Mix it up with the other basic variations and start developing your footwork. #womensbasic #steppers #steppersflow #ErnestWilliams #chicagosteppi...
Nice dance, look at her smiling 😊😊😊❤❤
Where have you been all my dancing life! Lol Love the way you explain things!

Hey Ernest, great video sweetheart but next time make sure you got the light on so we could see who's in the building. Looking forward to seeing you soon, my friend.👸🏽💃🏾
Ha Ha. I definitely will take your advice. You are the pro at this.
👸🏽😆😘
Lovin the Steppers moves❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
I'm confused... if one is dancing in time with the music according to a step timing (not following music phrasing but following 6 beats of music) how do people end up on the wrong foot? Would they not keep in proper timing all the way through? The only dance where step timing alternates between up beat and down beat is Hustle. So... help me understand how folks dance themselves out of time of the music in a dance where the basic feel is "one and two" (which underlies both a 6 beat count AND 8 "step" count)? What I am I missing here?
Hi Gordon. Thanks for the question. The answer is not easily explained in writing and not easy to purposefully recreate it since it happens unintentionally. Sometimes people take one extra step or one less step than is required. Sometimes people add or take away a beat unintentionally. Sometimes somebody steps too fast or too slow which gets them off beat as well. Of course the music can change and if you don’t adjust then you will be off beat. I hope this helps.
Great vid, Most times the leader fixes it, but I do it also, when I can tell they don't know we we are off beat.
Thanks
Nice!! ✊🏿💪🏿
Love the concept ! My question what category of stepping are you teaching ??? Ole Skool? New skool , or free style ?? Can you define that for me ?
Hey Swan! This is from a new skool perspective. I believe staying on the up beat is more important to new skoolers. In my observation ole skool and even more so freestyle often go back and forth between dancing on the upbeat and downbeat. So for ole skool and freestyle, people would not necessarily have a problem if the music changed the beat underneath them, and they would not feel the need to adjust the dance at all. There are some ole skoolers that try to stay on either the upbeat or the downbeat for the whole song. For them this concept could apply, but again I don't think it's as imperative to them as it is to new skoolers.
@@SteppersFlow Thanks , I am glad you are taking the time to familiarize new skoolers what the difference is ! I know many people think all of the dances are the same .
Great info. I love how you broke it down. Thank you I will continue to watch your channel.
Thank you Tanya for your feedback. Stay tuned for more. Also consider becoming a member on my site to get access to much more in my Foundation course. It starts from the beginning but it ramps up pretty quickly over the months.
That's correct the lead set the correct steps and after is the women holds her step, from Chicago by way of Detroit great educational tools which I teach in my classes
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback.
Where are you , what city ?
Hey! I’m currently living in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Just moved here from Chicago the end of 2022.
Great tips
Thanks Bro!
Nice! You have a great partner .... Theresa is smooth as butter and a very positive person 😊
Yes she is.
What are the resting numbers for the 1-2 ? Bounce ? and 1-2 Bounce? the resting numbers help set the pattern in my head to translate from the music to my feet. Thank you for sharing.
Hey Antonio. I assume you mean the slows as opposed to the quicks. If the slows are the resting steps then the resting steps are as follows: Bounce basic: 1, 4, 6, 7 (SQQ, SQS, SQ) 1-2 basic: 2, 5, 6, 7 (QSQ, QSS, SQ) Regular 8 count: 3, 6, 7, 8 (QQS, QQS, SS)
The 1-2 Bounce: 2, 4, 6, 7 (QSQ, SQS, SQ)
@@SteppersFlow right on brotha! I thank you for the reply and thanks for the video. its some gold level info bro!
@@AntonioCausey Thanks Bro!
