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,
Carolyn along with her daughter
and co-founder, Deborah Granger-Brewer,
changed the name 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.
