    It's amazing how the world is seeing steppers here in Chicago and it's been around for decades. Chicago. Thank God for the internet.

    This couple is so elegant and smooth with their movements. I love watching them dance. They have the best Steppin’ video on TH-cam. I watch their videos daily. It is relaxing just watching them move. So in sync!

    when I watch them, I just be cheesin back! Takes me back to when we were classy and elegant when we went out to have a good time. Ladies enjoyed being ladies; and men enjoyed us. We were treated with dignity and respect and nobody got hurt because nobody wasn't with anyone they didn't wanna be with. You'd go to the club, have a few drinks and dance the night away; and if you were lucky: a dance turned into a romance!
    Those were the days, my friend. And when it's all said and done, I'm just grateful for the music and the memories.
    Victor and Nicola , I'd love to see more, please : )

    Smooth. We've been dancing like this for years. Glad it's being recognized. Though I'm not from Chicago, we danced liked this in Gary, Indiana and we still do. Kudos to this share.
    Great song too!

    Love it. The smoothness (if that's a word...if not, it should be to describe this dance...lol), grace are elite grade. And I can't over look the fact that they appeared to enjoy...and dance. Great Job.

    Nicola... This video here made me fall in love with Chicago Steppin. Some people are different in their dance and the same go for Steppin. I'm getting there! Thank you both so much for sharing the style I would like to achieve.

    Thank you to each and every one of you who has shared a word of encouragement, kindness or admiration. I don't know who is watching this video or where you may be watching it, but I do know that you're not doing so on a mobile device and the number of views just keeps climbing. Thank you for acknowledging this effort for what it is: a simple work of art, an expression of love for Steppin', the perfect marriage (in my opinion) of music and dance.

  • @silky0439
    @silky0439 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    This brings me back to 1975. I know, I'm dating myself but at least back then we knew how to dance together partnering without it having to be a slow song. A man that knows how to lead a woman on the dance floor, with a woman who knows How to follow will look like they've been on 'Broadway' the changes are so smooth. Bravo, for bringing this style of dance back for our young people to see REAL dancing.

  • @billyhill727
    @billyhill727 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I just got through watching this video again and I still say steppin is more graceful with great music and great dancers. It just
    has a better flow of movement than ballroom dancing.

I'm just glad I have it on video as a testament to the love that two people had for the dance and was able to share it in such a powerful way. Thanks again for your encouraging words of appreciation. Take very good care!
