- 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.
Back in my day,here in Houston Tx. we called it the two step.
What an elegant steppin couple. And thank you Sam for telling us about steppin history.
Thanks everyone I'm the lady in this video STEPPIN! I also have a channel on here all about Chicago STEPPIN. My channel name is Lady Margaret Steppin

@@pockahantiss thanks
I Love you ❤ So Classy, Step On!
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. ❤
i am 78 and did and still do Philly Jitterbug - I had no problem picking up the bop. have done soul line dancing to. just love to dance !
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😊❤❤❤❤❤
Im in this video and I was in the RKelly video
I love STEPPIN
I bet you all adding Salsa moves in with stepping is beautiful.
Steppin and New York salsa are descendants of jazz dance variations.
Also, I want to say how much Herb Kent means to stepping and Sundays Sunday is the day that we love to step, play cards, play, dominoes Herb Kent made it a tradition and thank you Sam Chapman for keeping it alive!
DJ Sam Chatman is the best he makes you not want to turn off your music 🎶🎵🎼/ Radio 📻
My grandparents called it the bop
I love Steppin..... Thanks Dre & Lady Margret! & Sam Chatman!

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! 💚☘️🇮🇪
Beautiful Absolutely Congratulations Dre&Margaret 🎉🎉❤❤❤!!
her dress is gorgeous.....how many of you ladies want that dress?
I started bopping in high school and as I graduated and live my life, I became a stepper and it is one of the most satisfying dances I’ve ever did in my life! I moved away from Chicago. I live in Tampa Florida now but we even have Chicago steppers down here in Florida is reaching out everywhere. There is so much fun and I’m 67.
I saw steppin at a party and totally felt drawn to it. Later on when I tried telling people about the dance, no one understood what I was talking about. I’m so happy I found this video. I want to learn how to dance it.
I'm glad he explained Chicago style of Stepping. I'm a Southern Belle so I grew up seeing my parents do what some people in the South call hand dancing and which is really the same thing it just has more of a stroll style while stepping . But I do love the swag that Chicago has on it. And these couple is so classy and dressed. So nice! I love it
Awesome! Blessed Chicago Steppers❤
Wow, I love the smoothness in their moves!
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
Oh my God brother palace right there on Pulaski used to be back in the day the place that we had to go until we got robbed there one night!
Thank you for this video....will be stepping real soon..🕺💃
Thanks for the history! Such an elegant style of dancing.
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
@@Audogo-b2g you must be from RT Red brick if not then the Ickies
@@Audogo-b2gaw stop it's not the steppin capital of the world
Sure was and I still bop n step
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.😊😊❤
Art Kelley didn’t start this!
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 ❤️🖤💚
I've been at it for about 35 yrs., and I love it.
I love them both! Thank you Mr Chatman ❤
Exactly, Bobbing is the original, my Daddy taught me to Bop!!!

For those of us who learned latin hustle, Salsa..we change the room when we start dancing...Partner style dancing...
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......
Should've told him to mind his business.
@@rozzie5651 indeed. i feel like i have to defend my city and state all the time here. when i tell ppl here im from illinois, they always ask "oh, tell me about o block. tell about tookaville." im white i can't tell you nothing about tookaville.. if you from dupage co, you don't go south of 43rd street. you just know where to go and not go. for me, my chicago is downtown, wrigley, west side, the loop, LSD, etc . i met this girl here from new jersey and she waas like "oh, i want to see tookaville. show me tookaville." go ahead. sit your butt on 70th and loomis on a friday nite in summer see how it works out for you. all these ppl here from nyc/jersey think that Illinois is just gangs and violence. If you're from dupage co, that's not your reality. growing up in downers, i went to catholic school and grew up in a huge house. so, my reality wasn't O-block. as a native chicagoan, it just irritates the fck outta me that everybody has such a negative view of chicago.
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?
There needs to be a documentary on this.
It is search on RUclips
This is great for everyone, I love them all
I miss seeing the weekly Steppin on tv.
Watching this wonderful video about stepping. November 2023.
Great show. Thanks for info. Will share with Chicago family.❤😊
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 🫶🏾
Stepping is different
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
Smooth!!!
LOVE ME SOME SAM CHAPMAN ….LONG LIVE COMPASSION 🌬️👣💨 BRIAN HENLY LORDSON‼️TAMPA 🌴FLORIDA🌴
Salute to the Late Alfred Hampton the King of Stepping never seen no one do it better
Beautiful ❤❤
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.
Wow!!! They’re a Dancing like ok marvelous stepping!! Stepping has been around for decades but it was always said, “It’s best done in Chicago!🕺💃
The Steppin Ambassadors

❄️🤍❄️🤍”Sweet Summer Days” by Peabo Bryson is ALWAYS a vibe! Chi-Town stand up!!!🙋🏾♀️💯🤍❄️🤍❄️
I hear you. I know where you're coming from. I get similar. People even boldly ask what is my race. And which parent is which. I've lived on the west and south side of Chicago.
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
Love it
In the DMV, it is known as hand dancing.
The "Steppin Slayers "
I’ve been watching Lady Margaret stepping videos …she is amazing!
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.

Great information can’t wait to get to Chicago
LOVE IT WE HAVE 2 STEPPING IN KANSAS CITY ❤❤
Awesome👏🏾👏🏾
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.
In the early 70's this was called "The Hustle," I was doing it in NYC.
No, the hustle is not the same thing I grew up in that time. Also stepping is always been different from the hustle. OK the hustle is disco.
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
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.
Sam Chatman this GLORY how are you it's been a long time happy holidays to you and your family
That is right
Yes 💯😏 2024 26 12 thanks 🙏👍😊
ONE OF MY GREATEST REGRETS NOT LEARNING TO STEP/BOB 💃🕴️💃🕴️💃🕴️🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃
Not too late 😊
This is a slow version the Hustle from the 70s, so when most of these people were younger, trust me they were doin the hustle to “This time baby” by Jackie Moore.
I see similarities within Cuban salsa or salsa period .. cool .. steppin has a vibe of class and cool 😊
Cubans love jazz/jive dancing.
Love to watch the “Steppers!” Beautifully elegant dancing with a great partner! Nothing better!
Incredible!
I love this❤️
Awesome ❤
Love it i can step but not follow😭only lead i need to go to some classes. I want to learn how to WALK(dance)
Watching 👀 ❤ 2023 from St.Louis ❤❤❤
Love it❤
Yes YES yes club yesterday's in Southfield . Michigan the Ramada inn 🌹🌹🌹
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❤
Bless her hear👱♀️
Excellent Excellent 😅😊
I am in Detroit and wevlove steppin. But I can't get that turn 😔.
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.
Respectfully, a lot of this came out of 1920s/30s Black America!
My addiction ❤
Does anyone know what that song is? The song is awesome.
Lane on 1🔥🔥
I learned Chicago stepping back in early 2000 and wasn’t really enthused. I like it Texas style, but not taking anything away from their dance.
In Alabama we call it swing out!🤗💃🏽
Back in the day in Louisiana we called it swing out
Good job y’all 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What they’re doing looks more like what we used to call hand dancing.
The elders got it
THEY ARE EXCELLENT DANCER
Love..
I'm hopefully moving to Chicago, I'll make sure I check both Sam And Andrea...Ophelia place...is that still open?
Those red shoes 🔥
West Side ❤
