What Steppers FROM Other Cities Say About STEPPING IN Chicago

To be immersed in the culture of Chicago is just something you can’t replicate. There are many places to dance every night. Ladies, there are more male dancers so you get to dance, and dance with quality leads with different styles. Every time I go the quality of my dance is elevated.
Donna P – North Carolina
Native Chicago dancers have more individuality. I watched folks dance for a few songs and felt like I got a glimpse of their personality just by watching their dance. I’ve never felt like that anywhere else.
