South Side Steppers 12th Anniversary

Come  join this popular style of line dancing that consists of structured  dance routines done at most social events and nightclubs. It is similar  to country line dancing but danced to R&B, Hip-Hop, or Jazz music.  Soulful line dancing is done across the nation. No experience needed.  It's easy to do by following the instructor. It is fun, exciting, and  great for getting exercising. Participants should wear comfortable  clothing and comfortable street shoes.

Two-Step,  not to be confused with the country two-step, is one of the most  practical and versatile social dances ever conceived. It is designed to  be used with contemporary and smooth R&B. This type of music is  common just about everywhere, nightclubs, radio, etc. The rhythm of the  dance is very simple and rarely changes from the 1 & 2 counts. This  romantic dance fills a gap where no other ballroom dance fits. It gives  the dancer, whether beginning or advanced, the opportunity to express  and create without requiring the use of a rigid technique. The Two-Step  is attractive, romantic, and is a real asset to line dancing. The Hustle  is a member of the Swing family and is like the West Coast Swing in the  pattern. It has a distinct flavor utilizing flamboyant Disco-style  music. Its great accomplishment was to bring partner-style dancing back  into vogue among nightclub dancers in the 70's. The Hustle is a fast,  smooth dance, with constant spinning.

Cha-Cha  is an exciting syncopated Latin dance, the Cha-Cha originated in the  1950s as a slowed-down Mambo. During the 1950s, the Cha Cha was made  famous by many Latino bands. Cuban in origin, the Cha Cha rhythm is  found in the much of today's popular music. The Cha Cha gathers its  personality, character, rhythm, basis, and charm from two major dance  sources. It is a derivation of the Mambo through its Latin music; it is  also a step-child of the Swing, as it is danced to its 1-2-3, step-step  rhythm. The Cha Cha gets its name and character from its distinct  repetitive foot rhythm.
