This just in!
Two gorgeous photos… of Roni and Vince’s first dance and wedding held on July 18th 2009. They were loads of fun to work with and they wanted something a little different for their special song… Chicago Steppin’!
Chicago Steppin’, in case you’re wondering, is a super fun dance that you can see all over YouTube and check out on the internet from coast to coast. You may remember the hit song, “Step In The Name Of Love” by R&B singer R. Kelly.
It is a synchronized dance done with two or more dancers and usually to a 6 or 8 count beat. Music chosen most often to “step” to includes: Jazz, Soul, Funk, R&B, Neo Soul or Rapp Music.

To me it feels like a bit of Lindy, Jitterbug and West Coast Swing all rolled up into one easy going and sexy dancing style that has you out on the dance floor for every song the DJ can dish out!

Roni and Vince chose the song “This Is Us” by Keyshia Cole and proceeded to visit me for five lessons to learn basic linear and circular Steppin’ steps and also some cute spins, flip flops and dips.
We kept it simple, fun and easy going and relaxed right into it with cool looking footwork just like the big guys back East!
Here are some pictures and a wonderful message from Roni.
She also sent me one of her favors which was an adorable “Garden Greeting” wildflower seed paper in the shape of a flower with a heart cutout to plant and watch bloom!
Jillian,
Thank you for making our first dance a dream. Yes, the kid’s did have a hand in helping us on the dance floor. Everything was so wonderful and we are so happy.
Thank you again for teaching us to “step” together. Love, Roni & Vince
So if you’re looking for a first dance that’s a little different from the usual foxtrot or waltz, Chicago Steppin’ might be just the dance for you and your prince or princess charming.
Email me some song ideas and we can come up with something fun for your dream first dance!
Married!
