Good to see Calvin and Anita. May Calvin Dillard (Sarg) Rest in Paradise! He never let a lady sit! Thank you Mrs. Anita Dillard for sharing Calvin with us! Houston knows how to have fun! ❤ #TeamDillard
Love it Shakedown It’s good for the youngsters to see old School dancing no fighting. Due to this coronavirus we can’t dance out but we can still dance at our house let’s go, everyone looks Amazing 💃👠👠
Thanks for posting your function of people just enjoying themselves and having a good time. I remembered when I was a young man back in the 70's going to house parties, clubs and cabarets this is what we would do and it was fun. Today young young people don't know about having fun at a party especially a young blacks. I don't see young black men dancing with females anymore like you see here. When I do see them dance it's just guys or girls standing all to themselves. Once again thanks for the posting and people stop comparing one anothet to Chicago or Houston or whoever else just enjoy the video why do we have to tear each other down.
I'm looking at the comments for those who made the reference to Chicago style look people are just out having a lovely evening with friends I think it's a beautiful thang😎😎SHAKE DOWN 💛
I DAC the same way but I am little bit quicker everybody in Texas can dance because I am. A Texas girl back 50years a go the hold Texas map was very country ,but not any more , this make me feel good way my Texas people putout on the floor ,Ha,! Float like a butterfly and sting like Bee ,
Chicago is good.but have you. ever been to Atlanta.they are good in Atlanta. Chicago is a little better 🤠😜. But when Covid-19 get over. Visit Atlanta. Ga.
This is another subject. Donald Trump.is tryings to get rid of Social security and Adorable Care. If they don't keep aforableCsre. A lot of hospital will close. And if you don't have insurance. You cannot go to a doctor or hospital .by you being unable to pay.they will turn you down. Then you can always have the money 💰. Donald Trump is trying to cut out insurances and Social security. We can hardly make it now with what we get.but to get nothing. Think about it. You will loose just about everything a person have. Donald Trump is trying to destroy the US in my opinion.He want to move to Russia. My thought.you need to know.
@@evelynbjamesjames9214 I agree. Encourage everyone you know to vote. Once Russia use Trump, they will have no other purpose for him. Sit back and watch Trump and his family gonna crumble. Melanie and Barrin will have their stick of $$$ set aside because she knows Trump and kids goin down. He has done much wrong all his life so its jus time. He gonna wish he never ran for President because this is how his downfall will happen. But, he has and will continue to ripe the country off as long as he is in the White House. Dont be surprise when you find out how many billions he and his clowns were able to snag while POTUS. Our great great grandchildren will be paying the $$$$$ Trumpeters were able to get. #VoteVoteVote.
Lots of people from Chicago are leaving and moving to cities in Texas, Georgia and Florida taking Chicago culture along with them. I'm pretty sure this is Chicago stepping that was brought to Houston by former Chicago residents.
Malcolm Jones Taylor...lol, We have been doing this long before Chicago came along. I remember when doing this at a skating ring in Houston in the early 70s and that was because I was allowed to go to social gatherings back then. I’m sure it was happening in Houston way before the 70s.
@@countesslove1752 Chicago-Style Stepping, affectionately known as steppin, like most social dances, evolved from the "Bop" in the 1970s. In 1973 Sam Chatman was the first to coin the term "Chicago Step", and has been widely credited with marking steppin's evolutionary transition from Bop. The swing dance known as Steppin' is a part of the Western Swing family. The parent dance "Chicago Bop" may have been more Eastern Swing, but Steppin' has characteristics more similar to Western, especially its usage of a lane or slot. The term "Bop" was used to describe the dance form by Chicagoans until the early 1970s. Prior to that time "Bop" was a universally known term with its origin beginning sometime between 1945 & 1950 to express music and dance. The dance known as Chicago Steppin' evolved from Bop and is more likely a derivative of Jitterbug. No published syllabuses exist for the dance.Chicago-Style Stepping gained a real foothold when a local radio station, WVAZ (102.7FM/1390AM) began playing "Mr. Fix-It" and "Loves Gonna Last", two obscure songs recorded by Jeffree (Jeffree Perry) from his MCA 1979 Jeffree album. "Mr Fix it" had modest success as a single on the R&B charts. "Loves Gonna Last", an album cut, became so popular in Chicago that the steppers dubbed it The Steppers National Anthem. Popularity Steppin in Chicago goes back to the late 1940s early 1950s, originally called Bopping it evolved with soul music as the street corner harmony soul songs did with musical bands. Stepping remained popular throughout, even as Hip Hop and Rap music came along it remained main stream in the urban dance scene. Artist such as Grover Washington Jr., Micheal Jackson, Earth , Wind and Fire, Average White Band and especially James Brown (J.B.'s Mono-rail) all had hot stepping tunes aside from many others R. Kelly's songs that featured Steppin' or Stepping helped move the dance into national mainstream culture. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_stepping
You're not havin' a party if there's no Sam Cooke involved! Ain't no way! Ya Heard Me? You better run & tell that! Everybody loves to Cha Cha Cha! Delfonics Forever! T'Challa! Holla!
Whose retirement party is this? I was nodding off watching this & I'm 58. Get you some shoes & clothes you can move in.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😏
Totally agree. I am a Southerner who was really impressed by the steppers in Chicago when I lived in Illinois while in college during the 70's. I learned to step from the best.

Sorry... they need more practices... look at Chicago.
I need a Romantic compatible dance partner taller than me
Join the dance community in a city nearest you! 😊
This is a shakedown of dances from the Disco Era. You're practicing Disco! Y'all need to learn how it's done properly! Thanks, however, for trying!
S isnt that the truth .fun no violence
Are they trying to compete with the Chicago steppers. That looks raggedy. Nothing like Chicago stepping.
Im from chicago...my cousin knows sam chatman personally.its all the same.depends on the music.
Glad they are having a good time
@@erikbridges6887 Sam Chstman is my husband's cousin! Nothing like #family! 🥰
No need to "compete". No room for that here. Just having a good time. No more, no less. 🤦🏾♀️

Houston stop stealing Chicago moves cause yall will never be able to do it like us yall make the song & the stepping dance look bad please don't embarrass yourself find another dance that works for Houston cause this ain't the one😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stop talking and let the music and dancers tell the story.
Kind of sloppy. Can't nobody hand dance like DC or Chicago steppers.
I was just about to comment thissss is an embarrassment & an insult to Chicago.
Compared to Chicago, this horrible,I’m just saying!!
This is a field vs big house sentiment...........they are dancing and living life.
T GARDNER I guess that’s what’s important.
Absolutely correct.and funny.
Can't stand people having fun, can you Nate Conver? I'm just saying.
Sarah Williams maybe that’s what it is, I watch videos for enjoyment not to feel embarrassed. They can do better and they should.
Horrible
I just Love.Love watching them dance.
