Let Us Show You How .... Chicago Style Stepping ... Effortless Steps

[@treal1383]

Still ❤️love my city Chicago no matter how out of control and corrupt it has always been 💪🏾God Bless The CHI

[@deloresbrown5735]

Absolutely! We got our problems, but there is NO CITY that do it like CHICAGO😉

[@dimedenaye]

I love how everyone has a visibly different style all while doing the same dance.

[@nittacci3194]

Man, this makes me miss Chicago. I had a co-worker show me how to step years ago, and once you learn it, you never forget.

[@Thatzmysh1t]

I live in Florida now and I actually go home to step. There's a small steppers class here but like Dorothy said, "There's no place, like home."

[@cynthiagram671]

Ieft Detroit as a child, and missed learning steppin. My family tried to show me. Didn't work. But I got it now

[@Slip_The_Jab]

This is such a beautiful thing.. cultural diversity is so close most don’t even realize... These steps are not far from Latin salsa at all. From what I just saw ya boy “puerto rican” can step.... and everyone in this video can salsa.... think about it..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@phattmanslip1]

A preview of Heaven my Brother!!!

[@ybishy]

and it all originates from the mother land...AFRICA

[@AnastasiaBeaverhousn]

Yes we know, you guys got salsa from us! Stepping has been around for DECADES!!

[@facetheblacknationchannel]

Slip The Jab we need to stop including other groups into our space

[@brothermouzone1307]

All couples dance share some commonality. In my class we encourage the salsa ladies to incorporate not separate especially the hip movements.

[@sonyamorgan9410]

The woman in the white hat.. Rocks. She's moving in her own groove, and making it look effortless. YOU GO GIRL 😊

[@Suzyfromtheblock]

Sonya Morgan yes she’s very good effortless

[@nrock9761]

Yes everyone is commenting on the lady with the ribbon sweater. The lady with the white hat really set the tone!😀

[@Suzyfromtheblock]

Yes I liked her too own time own groove bless her 👍💓💓

[@findmeanewplanet]

I noticed that too!

[@DanceJudge]

white hat knows exactly what she is doing & she is wearing comfortable low boots she knows she can dance in . She can play with the timing and mix it up and still be right there when she wants too. Others are just trying to get it just the one way. The one in the ribbon sweater is one of the less confident of the group, all that looking down, she is foot focusing, not hearing the music, just trying to keep up or on it. Those heels really limit what one can do, number one is just balance but not alot of bending & straightening of the knees or putting a foot out very far. You have to land each step with the whole foot pretty much.

[@ladylioness4065]

This comment section is giving me life God bless

[@lawannalov52]

This is the beauty of being a woman. The grace of difference. The unique style of each to own. All lovely in their special way. Not one any more beautiful than the other.

[@dawnpratt846]

[@back2love323]

[@jaggerpence8300]

The lady in the bottom left corner talking, chewing gum and stepping at the same time is the one I would have my daughter learn how to step from. She move like she do this for a living. She the chick at the job you go speak to when you need to know how to get all your vacation and sick days.

This is what you all beauty in real ness. Just the way God made us.

[@DanceJudge]

Respect to these women who know how to walk in heels, how to stand with good posture and how to dance smooth & easy. This kind of dancing & with a partner is a beautiful way for people to connect. Good, Clean Fun, Appropriate physical conduct & contact with others. Posture & body language tells a story about people. A woman who dances with her head held high shows confidence, eye level & contact demands respect . As soon as these women feel good with their body steps they raise their eyes. YES, they look "sexy" because strong & confident is sexy. I also see them as Mothers, Teachers, Leaders, Bosses & Wives. They may dance in those heels & pants on Friday but they have something else for church on Sunday. Young women need to look and learn, that freakin & twerkin is not how to be if you want to know respect. These women, I respect their dancing and more.
