    Thank you to each and every one of you who has shared a word of encouragement, kindness or admiration. I don't know who is watching this video or where you may be watching it, but I do know that you're not doing so on a mobile device and the number of views just keeps climbing. Thank you for acknowledging this effort for what it is: a simple work of art, an expression of love for Steppin', the perfect marriage (in my opinion) of music and dance.

  • @ThaBrooklynHurricane2
    @ThaBrooklynHurricane2 5 лет назад +8

    when I watch them, I just be cheesin back! Takes me back to when we were classy and elegant when we went out to have a good time. Ladies enjoyed being ladies; and men enjoyed us. We were treated with dignity and respect and nobody got hurt because nobody wasn't with anyone they didn't wanna be with. You'd go to the club, have a few drinks and dance the night away; and if you were lucky: a dance turned into a romance!
    Those were the days, my friend. And when it's all said and done, I'm just grateful for the music and the memories.
    Victor and Nicola , I'd love to see more, please : )

  • @billyhill727
    @billyhill727 9 лет назад +4

    I just got through watching this video again and I still say steppin is more graceful with great music and great dancers. It just
    has a better flow of movement than ballroom dancing.

  • @MJL898

    This brings me back to 1975. I know, I'm dating myself but at least back then we knew how to dance together partnering without it having to be a slow song. A man that knows how to lead a woman on the dance floor, with a woman who knows How to follow will look like they've been on 'Broadway' the changes are so smooth. Bravo, for bringing this style of dance back for our young people to see REAL dancing.
