About Class Act Steppers
Class Act Steppers, formerly known as
Class Act Atlanta, is a social dance
organization founded in 2001 by Carolyn Granger, a
Chicago native, former account executive of Sprint
Corporation, and fashion designer of her hot steppin’
designs. Carolyn recruited members, which
included some of Atlanta’s top award winning
dancers, to capture and present various styles of “classy
dancing” to our community. Atlanta/Chicago
steppin’ overwhelming became the most popular dance
at Class Act Atlanta affairs; consequently, the name
was changed to Class Act Steppers.
Class Act Steppers continues to strive to teach, entertain,
and enjoy couples dancing together through dances such as Atlanta/Chicago
steppin’, bop, swing, hustle, and other forms of hand dancing to R&B, Jazz, and
soul music. Class Act Steppers is rejuvenating this form of dancing that has
been forgotten, bypassed, or lost in the African-American community. Steppin’
brings couples between the ages 25 to 75, middle to upper income, dancing
together in fashionable attire with turns, swings, and dips. Couples dancing
together brings dignity to dancing which is demonstrated in the way that a
gentleman asks a lady to dance and then escorts her back to her seat. The total
interaction of couples dancing is also a great form of alternative dancing for
young adults to see, learn, and enjoy.
