Learn the smooth, sexy, and soulful art of Chicago-Style Steppin'.  Originating in Chicago, Steppin’ has its roots in Lindy Hop, Jitterbug and the Bop. It’s a sophisticated social partner dance usually done to R&B, Soul, Neo-Soul, Jazz, and Funk music. It grew in popularity in the ‘90s with classic songs like, “Be Thankful for What You Got” by William DeVaughn.  Beginning students will learn fundamentals like the basic “8-count” and simple turns, and intermediate and advanced students will learn to enhance their technique, style, and turns before moving on to more complex combinations.
