Yes
…..And U Know It!…….
It’s called Old School. We knew how to dress, act and dance. All about style and grace. Period!!!
Absolutely💯
Partying has changed over the years! Today you don't see any dancing in Nightclubs instead just people hanging out!☺️🙂
Go Chicago 🕺💃 from Harlem
Here in South Africa ,we called this type of dancing as Jazz dancing but in the back of my mind I knew this has roots to the Black Americans who knew how to jive .
This is one dance I will always remember and like still going on
Jazz was invented by Black Americans, so even it's called jazz dancing it's still rooted in black culture.
We have a cousin of this style in the U.K. known as LeRoc or Modern Jive.
The music, the dancing, the clothing and most of all they all enjoying themselves. Grown and Classy.
Old School in the House!!!
The Ambience , Music , Vibe , Lighting , The way they are Dressed. . So Sophisticated and Stylish .. Pure Class. . The Saxophonist , and such Beautiful Skillful Dancing .. Perfection 👌🏾😍
Totally agree
Yes
TJ I'm 70 yr. I/thy are grooving to the beat! Love expressed to one another completely. FUN at 70.TJ Dance with the one you know love's just you.

Absolutely Fabulous Music & Especially The Dancers. I Love The Smooth James Browm Footwork. I ‘m 75 yrs Old & God has Blessed Me to still move & Dance like I’m in My Teens. Everyone who is able to still Dance, Keep On Dancing.
I have never in my life seen a white couple stepping and I LOVE it. I'm here for it. Everyone in this video seems so happy and having a great time. I wish more people would relax and just enjoy life. This video made my entire week!!!
My sister came home from Junior High School and taught me to dance this jig and we loved it so much because we could add our own style to it just like these dancers. She passed a few years ago and this made me think of her once more dancing with me laughing. Thank you for this video which brings her memory of that time. 💜
Hey , Jacksonville FL Has their history of
Decades of great dancing. I'm in my seventies and I was one of those people.
Can still cut a step.
My youngest son always tells me that he
would like to born back the day 😂
Well, our time is not a choice. Enjoy your day time you are living, enjoy your family and friends.
Well that's all folks ( Bye)
🤙
All I can say is that this is CLASSY & & IMPRESSIVE💎
Amen
Great to be from Chicago
This video pumps me up before going to work. I am a Chicago footworks stepper and love to step! I go steppin once amonth in the Winters, all Summer long at the Lakefront, parks, museums, ballrooms and concerts. It's a dance where everybody smiles and laugh it's all about enjoying yourself plus dressing up. There is never no drama or negativity at steppers sets!😎
Wow
I love this. Please bring back partner dancing. Not grinding on each other but enjoying each other. Love, love the white couple. They are getting there true boogie on! I'm from NYC but I have to give big ups to Chi-Town. You guys represent that step! Awesome and much love. Keep dancing. Love you guys!
For bloody sure 👏👏👏
Thank you
Chi-Raq
This is how we do it in CHI-TOWN. We ain't jivin', we jammin' 💃🕴🎼🎵🎶♩🎤🎸🎹🎷🎺🎻😀💞 Rest In Power Mack Ross 👑😇💞
I searched up "Chicago Steppin'" because of Bernie Mac mentioning it in his final performance in Chi before he passed away. Glad to have come across this. Hella classy and smooth.
This is a jam. if you got any smoothness in you at all, its bubbling up on this cut. Love the horn arrangements.
each has their own vibe and they bring it together in rhythm so beautifully. Im a white country music boy but I could dance like David, with them !
Not mad atcha
@@MrAlgorhythm
Why would you be?
@@elaineewalt8137
SIMPLE !!! 🤷🏻♀️ !!
Because people “OF COLOR”
(whether black or brown) historically (AND STILL) would NEVER be welcome in an all white establishment - including a dance hall.
That’s a fact, so let us stop PRETENDING that it isn’t. If you’re white and don’t like hearing it ....tough.
But don’t expect people of color to subserviently pretend it DOESN’T exist JUST to please you!
On the FLIP side of this societal norm, people of color have always welcomed whites into their establishments and EVERYONE knows this.
I’m Puerto Rican born and raised in NYC and proud of it! I’m well aware of what my people AND black brothers and sisters have endured.
Now that I got THAT off my chest, I’m going to watch me some more of those Chicago steppin moves!!
P.S.: I’M NOT A HATER. I DON’T HATE ANYONE!!! I’M A PROUD NEW YORKER WHO TELLS IT LIKE IT IS!! PERIOD!
NOW, BACK TO WATCHING SOME MORE CHICAGO STEPPIN! 👍🏼!!!! 😉
💃 👯♀️🕺!! 💖 !!! 👯♀️ 🎵 🎶
@@friryr
I find it hard to believe that. And still, no reason to br mad atcha. We just all chillin...
@@elaineewalt8137 heart is beating so hard &tears down my face standing in the mirror wishing for your face to pop up and scare me all my love
I never could dance, but I have always LOVED TO SEE PEOPLE DANCE. NOTHING, beats Chicago stepping.
Same with me; two left feet.
Everybody can shake a tail feather !
True
@@asafaust6774 practice
Ahh, Lydia I get you can dancer even if it's working your body sitting down. If you feel the rhythm, you can dance.
The Brother and Sister with thier own moves🥰🥰🥰 He even threw in some James Brown. The European Couple was also very good. Kudos to ALL the participating Steppers 👏 👏.. I know the band was AWESOME!!!
This is what you call going out and having a good time. Everyone one is having fun.
This what dancing all about plus the music is out of this world.

Granted I've only been able to trust the Chicagoans I've met as far as I can toss an 🐘 Elephant... 😂 Any who.. Born in 60s from the Southeast USA I must say this is pretty good. 👍
That was so refreshing to wake up to today. Music and dancing they all did good. Good morning to me

EVERYTHING WAS DONE IN STYLE AND GOOD TASTE, THE DANCING 💃 IS CLASSY AND WONDERFUL !!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤
As for music "SHAKEDOWN", James Brown would be proud of you!!! Love it! Great dancing!
I love it. We call it Hand-Dance in D.C. and I been dancing since I was 3 years old like this.
This is so fine. I have not lived in Chicago in 30 years but when I was there, Look out!
Very nice video it used to be the BOP back in the day now it's stepping VERY GOOD DANCERS!
😎WE NEW YORKERS CALL IT THE HUSTLE💃🎵🏃
LOVE THIS!! THIS WAS FILMED ON THE WEST OF CHICAGO @ THE 939 CLUB AKA BROTHER'S PALACE. I LEARNED HOW 2 STEP FROM THIS PLACE. RIP CHARLES MILLER AND RUBY MILLER. GONNA MISS ALL MY OLD FRIENDS.
Oh I remember my husband and I went to some club here in Chicago and did not know that was a step in contest and I got up to dance and when it was over we found out that it was a stepping set and we won I was really surprised that was some time ago and we had so much fun and I'm still stepping it will never go out of style black people can step.
I miss those good days they will not come back anymore good memories.
WHO IS THE GUY IN THE BLACK SUIT....??? HE'S A SINGER....??
soooooo much fun!!! Love how the men get to really shine!! most of the time I find myself watching ladies in couple dancing but the men were killing it!!1
I like when that dude got on the floor and his partner hold his hands and how he slide on the floor.
Agree, like the little guy in white with partner in red 😊
The beautiful side of Chicago.
That was great! It brings back happy times dancing with my hubby who has passed away recently. ..Saved the last dance for me.
That was so enjoyable to see everyone having a REAL good time out there on the dance floor, with no drama!
Lovin’” it!.😘
I love how they all dressed so nicely just steppn to the rhythm of the beat! Love it love it ALL
They all needs a standing ovation. 👍🏽👍🏽💯❤️

CHICAGO STEPPIN SMOOTH AS SILK. IT DOES' NT GET ANY BETTER. THIS MUST BE OLD SCHOOL,NOTHING BUT CLASS AND FINESE HERE. I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING THIS VIDEO.
Absolutely💕
By
I do not like the 8 and 6 count so call stepping
It's just pure natural talent when two people can agree rhythmically in body movements.
Good dancing from everyone. Love watching you swing it. Everybody was smiling and having fun. Thank you all for your video.
I LOVE IT >>> THE ENERGY THE VIBE MY HOMETOWN CHICAGO!!
Nothing like Chi-town stepping the best music 🎶 in the world from Chicago I love stepping in Chi-town.
@@blane4093 Amen! 🥰
Great job guys. Y'all put a big smile on my face. Looks like fun.
AND WHY SO MANY HATERS WITH THUMBS DOWN ON THIS VIDEO. THE VIDEO HAS SO MUCH CLASS AND STYLE 2B 1,600 MISERABLE HATERS WITH 2LEFT FEET. THEY CAN'T DANCE, AND HATE 2C OTHER PEOPLE WHO CAN DANCE AND HAVING A BALL WHILE SHOW CASING THIER CLASS AND STYLE..
EAT YO HEART OUT HATERS...
They’re hating because they don’t have the smooth stepping in their feet and rhythm like these real dancers!! The junk and nonsense today looks like moon dancing and alien acrobats
devil Burch There’s nothing to dislike in this video..even the hand clapping has got soul...
Those are poor people, they have no sensitivity to enjoy smooth swinging and other people's happiness... they just choose to suffer
Y'ALL ALL JAMMING!!! "LOVE THIS!!!"
I Can't Believe some one would thumbs down this like school in the summer they have no class!!! 🤣😂🤣
I just jumped up in the middle of the floor where i am and start stepping you know putting that smooth Chicago move down. I grew up stepping back in the day we called it bopping.
Thats Chicago for you we always had our own style. We have always been different and had fun in our house parties.
I love to step
Dream
Dre am Happens. Happens
YEAH, STEPPIN ORIGINATED FROM BOPPIN, ME MYSELF I
"GOT SKILLZ", I EVEN DID A BIT OF STEPPIN IN THIS CLUB BACK IN 87/88.
Dre am yes mam shorty was straight bopping...starting bopping at skating
April 29: International Dance Day: Promotes the importance of dance and the need to teach dance in all forms of education. Thanks for the upload, Quicksilver Cooley. Blessings
ITS THE RHYTHM OF THE HEART. KEEPS YOU MOVING KEEPS YOU GROOVING. THANK YOU
That was good dancing. It is good to see postive happenings in Chicago.
Not good to "see"; good that somebody is "showing" what people in Chicago are really like.
Amen
Everybody Moved Gracefully. Good Music and Beautiful People.I Loved it.
Music is good, people looking good, that is what it is all about having a great fun. Bring back those good old days.

Zebra Gozt No let’s keep moving forward....THE BEST is yet to come.
Rigth that rigth
Oh, tears in my eyes, wanna learn so bad. Finally retired, gonna go learn!
🔥🎯
some of them straight clowning on the dance floor. that's cool and all what's stepping is about. having fun you can ask any lady to step without a problem from their date just cool folks who wanna have a good night out with no drama!
Real talk….
Awesome dance video..all the couple's were great!!
One of the most unique Dancing party on TH-cam.Every1 is well dressed & the Music is just floor vibes.i Love it!
Man oh man! Here I am 63 years old, and I don't know how to dance as good as these folks! How did I miss out on this? I can't even figure out the pattern but it sure is nice! I really missed something I thought I was a cool cat, but now I see I don't know everything these folks is getting it! Make me feel good just to watch!
Muata Morris-omowale Its a count dance....just looking at it if you are not a stepper you wouldnt know its a 8 count...but the entire dance is based on that 8 count
Mary Pendergrass thanks for the response... 8 count is really busy... Maybe I'm just on another rhythm. Maybe I missed the train. But y'all keep on and enjoy the ride! There was a couple teaching Chicago Style dancing at the recreation center here where we live and if I can hook up with them, me and my wife might take some lessons... Very inspiring...
@@whodhavethoughtit3784 yes these folks are getting it in smooth silky very classy sexy sassy💖
Go 0
now this is stepping...i feel the chemistry, they flowing, smooth and having fun, dressed to the T !!!
How beautiful and elegant these folks are, this is how it should be done dressed up, respect, everyone supporting. Class act love it ❣️🙏❣️🙏❣️🙏❣️🙏
Felt SOOOO GOOD❤🎶❤. I came back for another DOSE today❤🎶❤. Wish I had more & will be watching❤🎶❤. I miss being able to dance like this again❤🎶❤. LOVE TO ALL from NORTH CAROLINA❤❤🎶❤❤.
That's my classmate/bandmate Ron Haynes on the horn (Austin High of Chicago, class of 1976)! Play it my brother!
WOW! Impressive musician.
Wow!! Love this video!!
Cool but hard to find his music...love it but very exclusive...
H
Zzz
I watch this all the time! They are so classy
I grew up dancing like! It doesn't seem like the young people dance as a couples. They're killing it!!!! 🤗😀😉
WOW!!! It was great seeing everyone doing their special stepping!!! I'm from Detroit and we are doing it here in style!!!
I would like to dance like this but most guys my age don’t go dancing.
That's what I heard . 2022 people don't go dancing like they did in
the 70's and 80's . Pity . It used to be so much fun . And it didn't cost a lot to go . Drinks were expensive . But I didn't drink so I just sipped on a pop all night . Maybe nightclub dancing will come back into vogue again .
Literally
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? Maybe because it's classy and many nowadays don't know what that means.
Yes, you all did this video with class and style. Real fun and dance in unique fashion.
I just moved back home to St Louis Chicago for year-and-a-half it was cool for awhile with nothing like home Aaron Lewis right back on in the house
Wow!! Very nice. They were all just gliding on that dance floor.. Beautiful.
Reminds me of "Back In The Day" 👏🏾👊🏾👍🏾 I'm 73 now. 🥰
I would pay money to learn how to be that smooth and masterful on the floor!!! While everybody added their own special flavor to the party, I was especially captivated by the brother who got things rolling. Steps, attire, and lady partner were all cold!!!!
I'm Latino and grew up in Chicago, live stepping. Beautiful stuff pure love
All couples were GREAT! but the couple at time mark 1:22 were the best. Very smooth and loved the moves!
Smooth, classy, completely on point 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The dancing is just beautiful 💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺
The second couples spin move was something phenomenal! , right on!. Great to see everyone having fun an enjoying themselves. Keep these videos coming!
I LOVE THE DRESSINGS AND THEIR SMOOTH MOVES!!
smmoooooooooth! how can anyone not love this!!
jojo z 👣,floors,may i? have this dances? what do you say?eph.5.2📖
EVERYBODY LOOKS GOOD!!!!!!! It's so good to see this; that 'real dancing' & 'real music' is still alive!!!
Lord! Thank all Yall for taking me back. All Yall still got it! Specially You!
Every couple dance so beautiful it was nice to watch
What a pleasure to see fabulous dancing&everyone so beautifully dressed!
Class and sophistication. Love it. I wish black men would take their ladies out on the town like this. Dance is wonderful.
We still do. Come to Houston,TX! You might get more Zydeco or Salsa than Stepping though.
This brings back memories. I miss those days. It's so sad , we're going "too" far backwards then a "lot" forward. God help us !!!
Great dance guys.
Thank God for Black Music... with out it...the world would be drabby. . Art... Beauty..and everything else! Amen!
my mom and step pop love stepping together. and i love watching them dance 💖
You must learn the moves too!
It’s amazing. It’s beautiful. They even dressed beautiful. It’s not like that today. It’s a lot of hate out there. No love no compassion I love this video.
Talk about having a good together and bringing it.They were all working. Very nice
Love the music! Get it people!! Have watched this video like 4 times. It makes you happy. A feel good song.
Love it! Old school, classy!
I grew up in this...and I tell you the truth..give me an oldie but goodie party ANYDAY ...omg the memories..I'm dancing now...👍😜
With a groove like that, I would act as if I knew exactly what I was doing!! That right there will put you in your own Zone!!
What fun. I spent time in a small village on the Caribbean in Costa Rica....no cars....one cement slab over looking the beach. THIS....every night...the entire village. Kids, 85 yo...dancing....every night. It was heaven!!!
LOVE this! So classy, dressed so nicely! I put this on my phone, watch it a lot!!!
Wonderful seeing people still go out and enjoy themselves on the dance floor. So smooth.
Nice to see Brothers and Sisters dancing together again!!!!
Hopefully it gets back to that again.. that is a goal of mine as a older dancer.
Everyone having a good time, loving each other. No matter the color, this is what the world should be.
Why so many thumbs down, this is so cool, beautiful dancing and music
They are haters and miserable
They can't dance.
Kids that don't know "no" better. Got jump around half-naked, and almost f#cking on the floor for them.
LOL true
THAT'S THE "2LEFT FEET PEEPS"
Hold on, Old Soldiers, Chicago Steppin is still going strong in 2023
good music, dancing, and laughter ain't hurt no nobody! All love
Grew up in Washington, DC hand-dancing! Memories - I loved this....
the good old days are back! they never left, we're reinventing the old cause it was the best, the nostalgia is intoxicating, get high on life it is so precious.
Renaldo Ricketts ohh u hit it on thee head!!
My niece is a youngster but she asked me to teach her to step when she saw me and my wife stepping in the kitchen one night……I was more than pleased to teach her…..
Keeping our Culture Alive! Thank you so much for this post! Loving it!
