Thank you, Taboo. I really enjoy ed hearing the history of Stepping. I have been stepping since the age of 14. I totally agree that Stepping has a certain flow. I still step at the age of 68. . I thank God for blessing me with mobility.
Steppin Is More Than Just A Dance, It's A Way Of Life😉 Bar Hoppping,Steppin All Night. Old School,Best Days,Different Times,Tailored Fashion,Great Vibes!! Much Love❤
He’s right, Steppin or then Boppin gave you a safe passage thru various neighborhoods throughout Chicagoland. If people didn’t know you personally they knew of you. Great documentary ❤
Thank you for the steppin history lesson. I’ve heard the history before but…YOU? Taboo, you put an entirely different emphasis on the origin, the culture, the atmosphere. For those of us not from Chicago; you eloquently placed us in the center of thangs! Wow!
So Taboo did you ever hit the Peps 47th Calumet you had to be 15 to get in. Then the closer to 21 I was hitting Budland on 64th Cottage & Grove the list goes on Steppin to me was like breathing I was basically a free styler cause duds taught me to step . I remember the Keymans out West whenit was time to go home I put on my jimmies so I could move cause I was South sider I wanted be far away for the fights broke out😂 you right Stephen is like makin love I thought I was the only one that thought like that .I miss a lot of my partners like Charlie Green RIP. Enjoyed your documentary Keep on Steppin Keep on 🚛 🚒 Truckin🎶🎼
Calvin started the first Chicago Steppin class in D.C., where he lived for many years and studied D.C. hand dance. He incorporated the fast paced steps and turns into steppin, which also helped to transform steppin.
You ain't from Chicago you know nothing about the bop step culture. Ain't nothing suspicious about 2 dudes doin a dance they started it and we picked up and they was doin that in the 60s I started stepping at 13-14 and I'm 76 yrs young now and still step .Pull your mind out the gutter you ain't to uptight are you🤔😏

Hey my friend, this is a very nice interview telling it like it is and was ❤❤😊
You got it Taboo❤❤
A jewel, you dig!
This was great! Thank you!
I love the culture! 🖤
This is great history lesson. This is beautiful. Taboo mentioned a man named Slim and I am wondering who this is?
I was a Bopper that converted to Steppin. I think it's a classic dance and black people have IT DOWN to a science . HO Chi
Taboo that what it was if you where not suited and Boot it you might not get a dance that night unless one of the ladies new you 😅😅
You can include Ray Smith from the P.C.'s in the mix with Romeo.
Men do not step with other men. Men step with women. I have never seen 2 Men step together. What kind of nonsense is this?
What’s wrong with you
@@user-zw9ki6lk5t what do you mean?
Go do your history! That's where it started from. You must not be from Chicago
@@onekkimontrea6794Y’all can keep that…men twirling each other around by the hand seem rather suspect. It doesn’t give masculine energy.
