Urbane Dance Studio

The passion for dance and teaching set the path for Urbane to be founded. After much frustration in trying to learn the dance, I figured there had to be an easier way to learn the dance, especially for the gentleman. Under the guidance of one of Chicago's well known Chicago Stepping instructors I was able to come up with a system that has made it much easier for most to learn the dance.

Chicago-Style Stepping, or steppin' as it is also known, has its roots embedded in the traditional African American originated dance movements of Lindy Hop, which evolved into Swing Dancing. Its birth and unique rhythm was born in the 1970s when Disco and New York Hustle was burning the social dance floor and seen in movies and television across the USA.
