One of the more contemporary videos from the Chicago Steppers scene.

This hot new slide dance instructional DVD from Chicago includes the new "El Stop", a take off from the "Bus Stop" which replaced the "Electric Slide". A family dance that will have grandma on the floor again.

Another dance that will excite the hip-hop generation is called the "Wobble". This is the slide to beat to in 2010. Also includes the Jaime Fox, Turbo and the Woody Pop.

This DVD is more upbeat and includes full body-styled moves. Great for the abs!

Steppin' origins started in the 1930s around the same time of World War II, originally as the "Jitterbug". Another more familiar dance that also has its roots in the Jitterbug is now called "Swing Dancing".

In the 60s, when Chicago took the Jitterbug to a different level, it evolved into "Boppin"; Boppin' then evolved into Steppin' and is still evolving today. Steppin' is a lot smoother than Boppin' and is composed of 10% technique and 90% style. It's the style element that makes this such an addictive dance.

"Steppin' is a way of life. Steppin' makes people from all over the country come to Chicago just to see this phenomena first hand. Although Steppin' is nationally known, it is native to Chicago. Steppin' is not just a dance, it's the music, the moves, the clothes, the mood. Steppin' is an art form that stirs the soul ... it's a rhythm as unique as the dance itself with smooth steps and even smoother turns." - Emilie McKendall (famous Chicago Disc Jockey).

Steppin' is here to stay! So if you’re ready, here's your opportunity to learn the technique and add your unique style to this dance that is shared by old and young alike.  Bonus footage, including exclusive interviews with George Daniels, Sam Chatman, Yvonne Paramore, Glen Richards and others.

Back in 2002, The Majestic Slide was the first slide dance to emerge since Charlie Green's "Bus Stop". Then came Casper "Mr. C" the slide man "Cha Cha Slide" that took the slide dances to new heights. Since then, hundreds of slides have emerged.

On this DVD are the slides that will stay for years to come. Also this DVD will give two instructions and one demonstration of each dance, because repetition is the best way to learn the slide dance. The Cupid, Twist, Majestic, Gangsta and the new James Brown slide are all on this one DVD.
