Steppers Are Just Going to Have to Make A Choice
At the announcement of the Black & Bling fire sale, I learned that I Love Steppin’ 11 Anniversary and the fifth Annual Black and Bling are scheduled for the same dates – April 25-28, 2019.

Cynthia Catoe-Warren has been steppin’ Chicago style for a year now and is one of the steppers in my local area Hampton Roads, Virginia. I was thrilled when she told me she made it to her first weekend event in Arlington, Virginia at Steppin’ In Our Nation’s Capital Steppers – even if it was just for one day.

Steppers In Virginia. We Step Chicago Style Too
At Big Al’s 2012 Steppin’ 4 Life Charity Ball when they did the state roll call I insisted on over the mic recognition of Virginia presence. I was one person in the crowd from Virginia hooting and hollaring. From that moment, many steppers called me Miss Virginia and I answered to it proudly.

My November 2016 Event Wish List
In years past, there were not too many steppers events in the latter part of the year. I would close out the year with the Christmas Colors Ball but I have not heard anything about it happening in 2016. October, November, December and January are my months to save some money for next year’s events. Not so much anymore. There is much more going on that I know about right through the end of the year and I plan to be a part of some of it.

All About My Weekend at the Ball in Atlanta
Sarah Teagle and the Ball Committee made this a memorable time. I do a bit more than a recap here, but instead – a review with ratings. When I walk away from an event weekend these are the things I have paid attention to and these factors make for a good or bad experience for me. If you agree or disagree, tell it.
