A stylish and graceful dance originated in Chicago , done in time with R&B music. The dance is done on the dominate beat of music, and in sync with your partner. Chicago Steppin includes a lead and follow position, and in order for the dance to be executed, there must be a physical interaction between partners. Numerous turns, and foot patterns are also included within this dance. Photo: NC Triangle Steppers
