Wow! What a wonder night of Stepping at ECI Tuesday Stepping Under the Stars at the 31st Street Beachside Bar & Grill (Pier 31)!
Another great dance lesson! This time by Master of Original Chicago Style Stepping, ANDRE DRE BLACKWELL! We’re serious about furthering the popularity of this dance!
FEL DAVIS arrived and delivered a powerful, crowd moving and pleasing vocal performance! He sang three of his songs, including his latest release “Never” and the steppers flocked to the deck to dance! Hearty cheers and applauses followed his performance! Wow!
As for the music, the dance areas remained full all night and people danced until after the last song! BUT, your honest feedback would be appreciated. Some like more old-school, or more new school, or faster, or slower, or this, or that, or the other, etcétera, etcétera, etcétera. So, pleasing everyone is a serious task! Your honest feedback will help keep us in that evasive “happy medium.”
If you have photos or videos, please use the hashtag #ECISteppingAtPier31
See you next Tuesday, friends!
