Stepping or step dancing is “a percussive dance in which the participant’s body is used to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand-claps,” writes the African American Registry.
Step has its origins in Africa, as dancing has been a large part of traditional African culture for centuries.
Calling Step a "bizarre silent dance without music" has to be one of the wilder antiblack racist descriptions I've ever heard of stepping lmao. Anyway if you see the video, it's step!!! They're stepping!! It's a Black American form of dance!!
some of yall need to understand that "my body, my choice" also applies to:
addicts in active addiction with no intention of quitting
phys disabled people who deny medical treatment
neurodivergent people who deny psychiatric treatment (yes, including schizophrenic people and people with personality disorders)
trans people who want or don't want to medically transition (yes, including trans masc lesbians with top surgery and trans women without bottom surgery, yall are so weird to them wtf)
and if you can't understand that, then you don't get to use the phrase
Me trying to explain the connections the IWDWS coaches have with each other in my mind like-
"So we got April in the center, and she's dating Bailando. And who's Bailando? Heart Of Glass. And who's she? Venus! That's also her name, Venus. And guess what, Venus has a sister, her name's Minerva. Side note, you see how Venus and Built For This both have that funny blue streak in their hair? Guess what, they're sisters. And technically they're minor demigods. Why? The Flow Moon, don't ask. And who's Fix from Built For This, by the way? Stop Movin P2, so we're right back at IWDWS. Minervawas in college, Venus was still a pop idol at the time."
"And then we go to fuckin' Evan from You Can Dance, and oh my god do I tell you, the pipeline that man goes down is a journey. I mean, he goes from being a sudden superhero during a crisis, to a villain hell-bent on god-hood and total control! And he was just April's roommate in college! Oh, he has a sister by the way. Who's the sister? Body Movin. Who are their parents? Robot demigods out of Cyberfunk."
"What about Just An Illusion P2? Nah he's not involved in most of it. He's actually a deity. Him and his buddy roam the Danceverses under different names and alibis together. Always together. Many years after all this stuff with April, they both enroll in a Dancity college and give social media a try."
