- Let's go back to the
'40s, which is when I think
Stepping really began. Big bands,
like Lionel Hampton's and Glenn Miller's, were doing their
thing. This was during a time when the only records you could
buy were 78s. Zoot suits and Jitterbugging were all the rage.
Jitterbugging is an athletic dance in which you have to really
move--girls are thrown in the air and caught (hopefully) in the
nick of time.
Jitterbugging went through a metamorphosis in the black
neighborhoods, evolving into a dance called "the Offtime". Now,
instead of the ultra-fast jumping and jiving dance, it became
very smooth. Offtime dancers did the same moves, but cool and
cut down to half-time. You made your moves every other beat,
instead of every beat. It was kind of like Jitterbugging in slow
motion. This "new" dance was based on control and maintaining
movement in a restricted area called a "lane", unlike other
swing forms which routinely change directions across the floor.
This dance caught on like wildfire, and that's when guys started
using that handkerchief move, because it was suave to have the
girl in one hand and the hanky in the other. Then something else
happened: folks like Gene Ammons began playing a type of jazz
called bebop. For instance, "Red Top" is a bebop song, and the
dances tend to keep up with the music and are modified
accordingly. So therefore Jitterbugging went to the off-time
which has became the Chicago Bop and the movement was
side-to-side.
Of course, there have been variations along the way, but by and
large the dance has remained the same. And then sometime in the
late '50s it evolved into a dance called the Walk. This was
really great to see, as you and your partner walked around the
dance floor in time to the music. But check this out: usually
the woman was walking backward and the man was walking forward,
as they held each other in an embrace. Every now and then you
would see a dip that would make you think the woman hit her head
on the floor. Sometimes the couple would pause and do a little
stutter step and continue without missing a beat. In terms of
dress, the men wore beaver hats with a big brim and a long coat,
and the ladies were attired in short skirts and high heels. - By
Herb Kent (Legendary Chicago DJ and witness to the evolution of
stepping.)

Step in the Name of Love (remix) is the title of
a number-one R&B single by singer R. Kelly which can be found on
the 2003 album "Chocolate Factory". The original "Step In The
Name Of Love", which is on the 2002 EP, "Loveland", spoke of a
dance style initially created in Chicago called "stepping". That
dance, and the music associated with it, was heavily featured on
Disc 1 of his 2004 dual-disc, "Happy People/U Saved Me". This
song became the impromptu "anthem" for steppers and the dance. -

Taviette Films Presents Perspectives on Steppin’
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.—Taviette Films is proud to present a free
showing of the international film premiere of Perspectives on
Steppin’. The first ever public showing is set for Sat. March 31
at 7:30 pm at the Zuhrah Event Center, 2540 Park Ave. S.
Minneapolis.
The event is free and open to the public. Perspectives of
Steppin’ explores the dress, attitude and personal outlooks on
steppin’, a form of dance rooted in African-American culture.
Independent film producer Gabriela Long took on the project
after becoming involved in the African-American community and
learning how underrepresented it is. "I was mesmerized by the
dancing," Long said. "It captures so much of the black American
community’s heart and I had never heard of it."
Long began actively producing films in the late 90’s. To date,
Long’s productions include: Katie Strand, Da Family, Jennifer
Chilstrom, This Room with No Mirrors, and In the Year of the
Lover. A long-time artist, Long recognizes the value of bringing
a voice to an art form that is often overlooked. "Like any art
form, I felt like it had very little attention," Long said.
"It’s so aesthetically pleasing that I was surprised mainstream
culture did not know more about it. The film focuses on the
aesthetics of the dance." A trailer of the film will be
available at
www.taviette.com prior to the premiere. Taviette Film
Productions was established in 1999 by independent filmmaker,
Gabriela Long. The company is committed to documenting stories
of those who leave a legacy of their own making. The company
specializes in autobiographical and biographical short
documentary films. In addition to independent documentary films
and privately commissioned projects, Taviette Film Productions
contracts with other select production companies and artists as
a still photographer or director in genres such as short films,
music videos and art videos. Taviette Film Productions is
located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
