Chicago Steppin Lesson: Women's Basic With Various Timing Options Part 1
Ernest, Thanks for responing so quickly. I will be purchasing your online steppin course, hopefully my concern is addressed in one of lessons in your course. Thanks again.
No Worries! Look out for the new offerings of the Foundation course and All New Intermediate Jan 1, 2025. They are based on 8-count.
@SteppersFlow Ok, thanks🫡
Using the six count when I want to exit the lane to the followers strong and/or weak side what beat or count do I go on and with what foot ? Any tip you can give will be very much appreciated.
Hey there! It would be difficult to explain that in writing without a clear counting language agreed upon between us. I didn't provide a clear count for 6-count in this series of videos. I did suggest a couple ways to count it in my individual video, but didn't settle on one. To answer your question we would need to interact face to face in person or through video chat. Reach out to me through my website steppersflow.
Hi Mr. Williams hope all is well. I have never used a counting system to step/dance/bop I just flow or float with the music and make sure I'm where I need to be with my partner. Try it sometimes thanks.
I appreciate the feedback. Thank you.
🎉 Love it ,Shirley Clark from the Chi 💖
Thank you Shirley!
That was a great explanation. I understand what the differences are now and what a perfect song (move on) to show them both in action.
I'm glad you understood and now know the difference.
6 and 8 is the same thing... the difference is how you count...all swing styles is based on two measures of music which is 8 beats...
I agree that the new school 6 count and 8 count are exactly the same and are just counted differently.
Thanks so much
Thank you!
Love it! Ernest dancing is so rhythmic I love his lead. The lady is good to follow him. Both really make a good dance couple. Thank you. A student of Chicago Stepping.
Thank you for your kind words!
Nice dance, look at her smiling 😊😊😊❤❤
Thank you!
Where have you been all my dancing life! Lol Love the way you explain things!
I appreciate that Mona!
Very nice, smooth flow great dance 🕺🏾💃🏾👸🏽
Thank you!
Hey Ernest, great video sweetheart but next time make sure you got the light on so we could see who's in the building. Looking forward to seeing you soon, my friend.👸🏽💃🏾
Ha Ha. I definitely will take your advice. You are the pro at this.
👸🏽😆😘
Lovin the Steppers moves❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
I'm confused... if one is dancing in time with the music according to a step timing (not following music phrasing but following 6 beats of music) how do people end up on the wrong foot? Would they not keep in proper timing all the way through? The only dance where step timing alternates between up beat and down beat is Hustle. So... help me understand how folks dance themselves out of time of the music in a dance where the basic feel is "one and two" (which underlies both a 6 beat count AND 8 "step" count)? What I am I missing here?
Hi Gordon. Thanks for the question. The answer is not easily explained in writing and not easy to purposefully recreate it since it happens unintentionally. Sometimes people take one extra step or one less step than is required. Sometimes people add or take away a beat unintentionally. Sometimes somebody steps too fast or too slow which gets them off beat as well. Of course the music can change and if you don’t adjust then you will be off beat. I hope this helps.
Great vid, Most times the leader fixes it, but I do it also, when I can tell they don't know we we are off beat.
Don't turn this dance into brain surgery. So many people step with "non" steppin family members at family functions or are a Lil tipsy.. most times the dance floor is crowded and the joint is dark.
Thanks
Nice!! ✊🏿💪🏿
Thanks
Love the concept ! My question what category of stepping are you teaching ??? Ole Skool? New skool , or free style ?? Can you define that for me ?
Hey Swan! This is from a new skool perspective. I believe staying on the up beat is more important to new skoolers. In my observation ole skool and even more so freestyle often go back and forth between dancing on the upbeat and downbeat. So for ole skool and freestyle, people would not necessarily have a problem if the music changed the beat underneath them, and they would not feel the need to adjust the dance at all. There are some ole skoolers that try to stay on either the upbeat or the downbeat for the whole song. For them this concept could apply, but again I don't think it's as imperative to them as it is to new skoolers.
@@SteppersFlow Thanks , I am glad you are taking the time to familiarize new skoolers what the difference is ! I know many people think all of the dances are the same .
Great info. I love how you broke it down. Thank you I will continue to watch your channel.
Thank you Tanya for your feedback. Stay tuned for more. Also consider becoming a member on my site to get access to much more in my Foundation course. It starts from the beginning but it ramps up pretty quickly over the months.
That's correct the lead set the correct steps and after is the women holds her step, from Chicago by way of Detroit great educational tools which I teach in my classes
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback.
Where are you , what city ?
Hey! I’m currently living in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Just moved here from Chicago the end of 2022.
Great tips
Thanks Bro!
Nice! You have a great partner .... Theresa is smooth as butter and a very positive person 😊
Yes she is.
What are the resting numbers for the 1-2 ? Bounce ? and 1-2 Bounce? the resting numbers help set the pattern in my head to translate from the music to my feet. Thank you for sharing.
Hey Antonio. I assume you mean the slows as opposed to the quicks. If the slows are the resting steps then the resting steps are as follows: Bounce basic: 1, 4, 6, 7 (SQQ, SQS, SQ) 1-2 basic: 2, 5, 6, 7 (QSQ, QSS, SQ) Regular 8 count: 3, 6, 7, 8 (QQS, QQS, SS)
The 1-2 Bounce: 2, 4, 6, 7 (QSQ, SQS, SQ)
@@SteppersFlow right on brotha! I thank you for the reply and thanks for the video. its some gold level info bro!
@@startedindetroit Thanks Bro!
