Join The Red Velvet Steppers at The Dewitt Center!
The Red Velvet Steppers dance group focuses exclusively on Chicago Stepping, an African American partner dance that originated in Chicago during the 1970s. This style evolved from the swing dance movement, drawing influences from the bop, Lindy Hop, and jitterbug. The group’s mission is to expand knowledge of African American dance traditions and foster community fellowship through dance and music.
