Reggie Handy is from Waukegan, Illinois – the north suburb of Chicago. Now, he lives in Edgewood, Maryland, right outside of Baltimore. He grew up skating and watching his aunts and uncles bop (an older form of what we now call steppin’). He got caught up in the street life and hip-hop scene, and when his nieces and nephews were old enough to show up at the same clubs he thought he’d better find something else to do and somewhere else to go. He started looking for places to bop but he saw everyone doing something totally different than what he grew up watching. Reggie made it to his first class in steppin’ in 2006 to officially learn about an eight count, and here he is ten almost eleven years later.
