What is Chicago Stepping?
- Originally created in Chicago’s predominately African American neighborhoods, the dance has morphed from its beginnings with the Jitterbug, Offtime, the Walk and Chicago Bop.
- Today Chicago Stepping is now more widely known than it’s ever been. “Stepper Sets” have been popularized by R. Kelly’s “Step in the Name of Love” and has shown the world the Stepper’s style.
