A Chicago DJ who coined the 'Steppin' music' term on the city's South Side explained the dance's importance during Black History Month 2022.
CHICAGO -- If you've lived in the Chicago area long enough, you've probably heard the word"Steppin'."
Some of Chicago's smoothest dancers have come to Family Den on the South Side to show off their best moves. This style of dance originated from"The Bop," which started in the 1940s. "Well, I had a friend of mine who would be dancing and he would break away from his partner and he would sort of like, walk back to her. It was like he was stepping. So, I kept saying Steppin' and Steppin' and the word Steppin' just caught on," Chatman said."The rest is history!"The Steppin' movement took Black Chicagoans by storm in the 1970s. If you didn't know how to step, you wanted to learn.
