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.
