A smooth style of swing with lots of groove, Steppin’ comes from the south-side of Chicago but has grown in poularity throughout the US in part because of R&B artist R. Kelly’s music which promotes the dance and culture or steppin’. The Chicago Steppin’ basic is a syncopated rhythm and can be challenging to a brand new dancer, but we break it down and make it easy for anyone to learn. Many West Coast Swing dancers learn Steppin’ to enhance their footwork, syncopations, and musicality.
