thanks...i think its probably b/c most learn this in classes now and its kind of hard to find these classes depending on where you live and alot of ppl don't even know about them plus more black people are into hip hop and break dancing like on america best dance crew
@cutiefbaby yeah, it's a weird phenomenon. From my experience it's become an white, upper middle class kinda thing but there are some exceptions. At the Festival where we filmed this there were something like 2000 dancers and I believe I only saw like a dozen black people in the crowd. There are some young kids doing it. Look for the Cleveland Hotshots.
i see more black ppl in chicago stepping too
