A Better Way to Dance

I'm not saying you HAVE to count, but-------

Over the weekend I had a few people that told me that they don’t count they just do what they do--- HUH? So for those of you who don’t count, of think you’re just going to get up and do what you want---your dance card is going to be quite empty. And here’s the reason why: First don’t get hung up on the fact that we have you count, this instills uniformity in the dance. Now learning it that way, you can go to Cali, and get a dance, you can go to Detroit, ATL, Chicago and get a dance. Now if you get up there and decide that you’re going to do whatever YOU want to do, and call it Steppin’, that’s not going to work. Just as EVERY other dance Salsa, Tango, Foxtrot, Detroit Ballroom, Bop, River Dancing, Square Dancing, and many African dances all have Rules, and counting involved to keep that uniformity. Anywhere you go it’s the same. AND so is the Chicago Step. You can’t just make up stuff as you go along calling it “Freestyle”. If that’s the case I can get up there and just run in a circle and call it Steppin’. I know you CAN get up there and do what you want, but it’s going to cause some damage. Let’s look at it this way, here in America we all drive on the right side of the road. We all follow those same set of rules that were laid out when we took our drivers course. That course is the same all over the US. You can get in your car and drive to all the 50 states, with those same set of rules without any problems. Now let’s say you get up one morning, and you decide that you’re going to drive anyway YOU want to and call it “Free Styling”. You don’t stop at STOP signs, or red lights, you drive on the sidewalk, you drive the wrong way down a one-way street, and you decide that you want to drive down the freeway in a big S pattern. Although you CAN do those things, you’re going to cause some damage somewhere. These steppin rules are in place so that you’re able to dance regardless of where you are, and not just with a handful of people.

So if you’ve learned a different way, or a different style, again Class is always open. Everyone goes back to school for something, as the job changes, technology changes, you buy a new phone—now you have to learn how that works. Things change and progress for the better all the time, and so can we. Now somebody tell me how to change this darn ring tone-----
