How many of you know the origin of this dance? There was the lindy hop-the paladian(hope my spelling is correct) -the Brooklyn hussel. When others tried to do it in their "Discos" it was done with rhythmless jerky movement. The key to doing it correctly is smoothness. Today it is known as Chicago Steppin. It is a beautiful dance done by mature people. It has rhythm and style. Keep on Steppin!!
Snoop & Tosha.. peep this.... I’m 60-Vintage (age) I was born & raised in Cabrini Green and got to witness some OG per’se Chi-Steppers and y’all got that flav and took it to another level with y’all own flav and the combo flavs are awesome! Y’all are so smooth and are my fav!!! Btw, whenever I visit home (Chi) I get2do my thang but residing in Florida I tried teaching couple of peeps and well...I shadow step til I can visit my peeps back in the Chi! Stay Silky U2!!!
You are so kind Lloyd! Snoop was my teacher, and I was just getting my footing in the dance when we did this video. I understand you struggle. Dancing outside of the Chi just ain't the same!
Brings me back to my ole days. Chicago was always the city to go hangin' out and learnin' how to Slide and how to Step. You're doing a fabulous job the both of you . Peace
Beautiful, absolutely perfect. Made my day, before I was sittin' round my kitchen trippin' and feeling low because of Aretha... but you're inspiring me to get in better shape so I can take a Steppin' class. Thank you,
Go ahead Tosha, you are sharp girl, i have added you to a list of one of my favorite's, i saw you competing on a couple of video's, your smile if beautiful and you are so eloquent....
Aww wow! I just stumbled onto this...that’s what I’m talking about #Sweet 👍🏾 Snoop and Tosha are smoooooth! Looks great on that shiny hardwood dance floor. Ooo, ooo, ooo and that song, “It’s Up To You” by Cardell Harrington... #Priceless 😉 #Jam #LateToThePartyButThePartyIsOnNow #ChicagoStyleSteppin #Snoop #Tosha #CardellHarringtonATrueSteppersArtist #MondayMood
In the DMV we call this just what it is "Stepping" . There is a large social dance community as well for both stepping, Handdance, West Coast Swing, urban ballroom etc. Most people who dance socially or competitive usually know more than one of these urban dance forms. Check out Metropolitan Steppers and Smooth and EZ dance institute to learn more.

This is a great example of Chicago Style Steppin. Wish there were some steppin going on in Alabama!
