- As we close out this Black History Month, we thought it might be nice to highlight some Chicago Black history with the godfather of Chicago-style Steppin'. DJ Sam Chatman joins us now with more on the art of steppin' and its origins.
In the 70s and 80s we bopped. I stopped dancing for years, and now it's stepping. It's not exactly the same, but still fun. Thanks Sam!
I had never heard of stepping until that R. Kelly video😊 then my sister dated and married a brother from Chicago and all of a sudden we were stepping at clubs with him, we’re Puerto Ricans who are aged salsa dancers😊❤❤❤❤❤
What an elegant steppin couple. And thank you Sam for telling us about steppin history.
I Wish Somebody Make a Movie and Bring Stepping Back.
Excellent idea 💡 👏 👌

My grandparents called it the bop
I see you Andre and Lady Margaret!! Looking fabulous, per usual 🙂
I love watching the videos on Stepping. It's very classy and the men are handsome and the women are beautiful. It's a great vibe. Stepping is the kind of dance that has been and will be around for years to come. Much love peace and peace peace and blessings to you all. 💋❤️💐🙏✝️💯🔥
There’s a real elegance to this, it’s great, any age can do it too, which is good for this 71 gal! 💚☘️🇮🇪
I love Steppin..... Thanks Dre & Lady Margret! & Sam Chatman!
Very true! 😅🎉I’ve been steppin’ since forever not after anyone. Started bopping and a friend showed me how to step by just doing it. No lessons. ❤
YESSSS, two of the best Steppers in the business! 👏🏽👏🏽
this man is legit cuz in the 70's it was called boppin
I am a stepper born and raised in Chicago.
We called it boppin'. Chicago has a style of it's own. The steppin' cap of the world.
To be honest the dance capital of the world the first soul train 🚂 started in Chicago.
We do things differently and with style 'cause we cool about it .
Peace and finesse the Chicago way
@@user-qw3jb4lz3z you must be from RT Red brick if not then the Ickies
@@user-qw3jb4lz3zaw stop it's not the steppin capital of the world
Sure was and I still bop n step
Awesome! Blessed Chicago Steppers❤
Exactly, Bobbing is the original, my Daddy taught me to Bop!!!

Oh yes classy indeed. West Side Chicago!!! My very first introduction to stepping was at Brothers Palace, Mr. Lee’s and everyone was dressed to the T.
Yes brother's palace in the house now its a daycare center so sad
One of Art Kelly's blessing to the Black Family show casing elegance and swag . This was not appreciated by haters, they only wanted to be show us with raggedy behavior,shaming and lowering our image. Art Kelly called it out in white attire jewels, furs, silks and satins, showing our kings and queens makings our family proud.. hahaha nothing like it.Dancing in rhythm, in time with the music.we made our own standards then and now in many more ways. We keep on moving up to our Destiny in a style that cannot be matched.😊😊❤
For those of us who learned latin hustle, Salsa..we change the room when we start dancing...Partner style dancing...
Beautiful Absolutely Congratulations Dre&Margaret 🎉🎉❤❤❤!!
her dress is gorgeous.....how many of you ladies want that dress?
Wow, I love the smoothness in their moves!
There needs to be a documentary on this.
I miss seeing the weekly Steppin on tv.
This is wonderful! In my town, there are a few groups who do this dance style. Our dance style is DC Hand dancing. I also like Detroit Ballroom. I didn’t know these dances are connected to African couples dancing like Kizomba from Angola. Genetic memory. Keep dancing and passing it down to the next generations ❤️🖤💚
And you know what back in the seventies there was so much love people we're not out here killing each other old school Inglewood
We called it the hustle in NYC😊
similar but not the same dance...
The hustle is fast and involves alot of arm movement. Almost like an old swing. Stepping is more focus on the feet. So similar but not the same. Im from NY. I luv both 🫶🏾
My hometown, step on Chitown step on. I wasn't really good at it, but I was good enough to get on the dance floor, lol. I have lost my steps in previous years, but I would love to get back into.
How dare you be black from Chicago and can't step?
This is great for everyone, I love them all
In the DMV, it is known as hand dancing.
Watching this wonderful video about stepping. November 2023.
Back in my day,here in Houston Tx. we called it the two step.
Great show. Thanks for info. Will share with Chicago family.❤😊
First, let me say I want that Stacy Adams blue fedora. OMG t hat fedora is awesome. Second, I'm a native Chicagoan from Downers Grove. I love all styles of chicago music and dance. I miss my city so much. Now, I live in Pennsylvania. I was pumpin gas the other day and playing Frankie Beverly "before i let go." The fella at the next pump turned and looked at me and said " my man, your white. what you know about that?" I started steppin to the song. And, I replied :"sir, your not a true Chicagoan if you dont learn how to step." Facts......

Beautiful ❤❤
The "Steppin Slayers "
Laugh out loud I remember in the seventies me and my buddies for 71st and Paulina and just all throughout Inglewood and 73rd and Paulina we used to go to the Dodge and on a hundred and 10th and Michigan everybody got along
Salute to the Late Alfred Hampton the King of Stepping never seen no one do it better
Love it
I love the foods we have during Chinese, Irish, Italian, Korean, European and every other nationality month. Inclusion and diversity means we celebrate each nationality equally.
LOVE ME SOME SAM CHAPMAN ….LONG LIVE COMPASSION 🌬️👣💨 BRIAN HENLY LORDSON‼️TAMPA 🌴FLORIDA🌴

My mother Bops with my aunt, and it's totally different from Step'n. I'm taking classes no, and I'm glad to see the 8 count and left turn because that's the start😁.
East Boogie Slider here.
Great information can’t wait to get to Chicago
In the early 70's this was called "The Hustle," I was doing it in NYC.
ONE OF MY GREATEST REGRETS NOT LEARNING TO STEP/BOB 💃🕴️💃🕴️💃🕴️🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃
Thanks 🙏 for sharing
And 'DOWN SOUTH' it's STILL the '2 STEP'!
I’ve been watching Lady Margaret stepping videos …she is amazing!
Yeah well, anyone that is anyone knows that Cleveland steppin' will step on any State's steppin' (Chicago and New York's). But it was EastCleveland Shaw High School that had a lounge where we danced during school hours
I saw a G.
I've seen it all.
I am a founder of the dance. Knowledge is my kinswoman. God will deliver my money.
Dope describes my rhymes, making all you MCS cold drop like dimes. You know MCSC is back again, and battling me on the microphone is like committing a sin.

It's going to take a while to get the hang of it but I hope that I got the timing in my feet. I'd LOVE to learn it so that I can prove my Mom WRONG that I don't have two left feet.
Love it❤
Incredible!
I love this❤️
Awesome ❤
I love in South West Louisiana we are known for swing out you are born with dance in your blood we don't take lesson it comes naturally in the black fly out people been doing swing for hundreds of years my home town is Eunice Louisiana St.Landry Parish. My Name is Sam Ceasar
Love this and want to learn the youth can truly benefit from such a classy dance 🩰 I'm sure can learn it's the 6 inch stiletto heels that I would have a issue with simply can't wear 3-in less however the sisters that are wearing the stilettos make the dance look so classy so sophisticated New York City our dance as such was called the hustle Latin love you Chicago steppers l❤

Does anyone know what that song is? The song is awesome.
Back in the day, we in New York called this the hustle...(Queens)
This is NOT the Hustle, and goes further back
Thats Sam❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Yes Sir
NYC it is The Hustle
No, the HUSTLE is not the same as Chicago boppin/steppin' (although similar), which goes back to the 40s/50s ..and remember, SOUL TRAIN came out of Chicago.
So beautiful. Have always wanted to learn. Hubby slack and
I would have to learn lead to teach him....sigh!!
What they’re doing looks more like what we used to call hand dancing.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤️🇺🇸❤️!
Are these moves also in the Hustle?
I want to learn that dance where can i get the lesson in dc😂😂😂😮😮
❤
Go Tonya 🥰🥰🥰
Reality check: 1950's, Englewood, Chicago, IL,- originated stepping, they called it bopping, incorporating, the style of the late forties dancers from Hollywood, such as the Waltz and Foxtrot, giving it elegance and style. That's the truth, Ruth. Herb Kent turned it into a distinctive dance when he started the sets @ the Time Square, Charlie Green came later, much later.
its the bop with sass
That looks like the hustle
Yes, except slower and smoother.
Yes they are the best 💃🏽 🕺🏽 👍🏽❤them
What’s the name of the song
Sweet Summer Days by Peabo Bryson
@@thr1ftyone923 Roy Obiedo Sweet Summer Days with Peabo Bryson
Free in DC call that bopping
💃🏽❤🕺🏾❤
You don't know the origins of stepping unless you are from Kansas City. Kansas City has been stepping since the sixties when nobody else was doing it. We called it two stepping. Better ask somebody.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤😊🎉
It doesn’t my heart good that he honored Bobbing aka Bobbin.
I don’t see the difference between this and the hustle from the 70’s
