renayiiq Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 OH COME ON! Don't ignore me! Does anyone here like step/stepping? Is anyone here on a step team? As for me, I love stepping. I'm kinda/sorta on a step team at school. I'm in the class, but cannot yet perform due to my inexperience. I could have been on the team last year, but I observed how people started to get snobby and form cliques already a week or two into it, and I knew exactly where it was going to. So I decided that I'd do it this year. Well, this year, it wasn't a "anybody can get on the team" thing. This year, they are having an actual class where you can get credit, and we had try-outs. I suppose if my step wasn't as short as it was then, I would've made it into performing status. As of now, I've made it into a step that's about a minute and fifteen seconds long, if done at the right tempo, without messing up. So, what do you think of stepping? Love it, hate it, have no opinion on it? If you're into it, are you on a team, or do you just do it by yourself? Do you have any idea of what it is, or have you no clue what I'm even talking about? C'mon, let's have a spiffyriffic opinion-exchanging discussion about this. I'm curious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Samedi Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 [size=1]Hold your horses, you only started it a few days ago, lol. This 'Stepping' thing sounds fairly obscure and strange anyway. I've never heard of it, myself. What is it exactly?[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepping is like a dance, but instead of all this hip gyrating and crap, you do dcombinations of stomps and claps. I've got a link to a very short video.

IceRose Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I used to step, amongst many things I used to do like play the clarinet, paint and folk dance. Its fun, no doubt about it but it takes a lot of practice to get it right, and the shoes become uncomfortable after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Warrior Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Sounds like tap-dancing/Irish dancing. But I'm ignorant on the subject. I'm with Baron. I've never heard of it. My sister took dance when she was younger (tap-dancing) and that was a bunch of stomps and claps. I'm sure there's a difference between the two, nevertheless. We lack a team for our school. Then again, I go to a low-budget school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renayiiq Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 [quote name='Dragon Warrior']Then again, I go to a low-budget school.[/quote] So do I. Usually, they're not assigned as classes for credit. Most of the time, they're just little after-school things. In my school, they just recently made it into a class. All's it takes is someone to sponsor it, like a teacher, and to lead it as the director. That's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Warrior Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Yes, but when I say low-budget, I mean the school is crap and can't even afford paper (that's not an exaggeration). We barely have any programs/sports as it is and if you're in one, you have to pay a participation fee. It sucks that I have to pay $25-50 to do an activity I enjoy while doing it under the school's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same as my school distric, EPISD, does. They probably pocket it. It's a very comon thing for the superintendants to do. But nobody does anything about it or they're ignorant so they haven't got a clue. It's kinda sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Warrior Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 No, we're just a couple of small hick towns thrown together into one school (each town roughly the size of 1400 people or less each) and those taxpayers never bother voting all the improvements to our school through. They always deny them. We had so many plans for improving the school, but the taxpayers didn't wanna spend the extra three bucks each to pay for it. The superintendent couldn't pocket cash if he wanted to. But we get off topic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
