    I was at the Step Off at the Civic Center. And I think the ladies that won the competition did an amazing job and were very much on point and well coordinated. With that being said, they should not have beat the AKAs. Those ladies were amazing, creative and the steps were very very difficult. (I am not a sorority member so I am far from biased). I do think that some of it was the novelty of white women who could really step their a$$ off and bring it as well or better than some of the historically black sororities, but just because it was a unique thing to see doess not at all mean they deserved to win. Just my opinion.

    I think the white girls won just because they were the anomally in the tradition….They won on merit of having the guts to try…you know..the classic ‘under dog’ story…The AKA’s looked better…

    OMG! Does this make me a hater??? *GASP*

    after watching them all here, i agree w/ you so_sophisticated. i know one thing though and that’s they won’t win again next year!

    THIS IS WHAT I CALL THE JOHN MAYER DISEASE:

    Its when Black people catch a case of the DO YOU FORGET WHO THE F**K ENSLAVED, YOU MADE YOU BELIEVE IN WHITE DUDES THAT CAN WALK ON WATER AND STILL HATES YOU TO THIS DAY!

    This is why Black people have had such a terrible history because as soon as we get somewhere we start trusting whitey. Next thing you know we let him take our money *From a stepping competition!*

    Why was there no black people on their step team? I’ve seen black step teams with white people…

    Standing ovation? They wouldn’t have done that if a black team would have one.

    YALL HATE YOURSELF! AND THEY KNOW IT!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BLESSMAY/ BLESSMAY

    I wrote my first comment before even watching the video…
    Now after watching the video I think yall that voted for them stiff ass b***hes are really truly still enslaved! They werent even good! That s**t was wack! Looking like some broke ass Matrix b***hes!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/carrot_cake_brownin/ carrot_cake_brownin

    Oh lovely… First John Mayer has a “n****r pass”, some blacks think Eminem is one of the best rappers and now white girls win step-off challenges… Wow, black people, do we have anything anymore? Oh I forgot, negative imagery and savagery on TV… No im not a hater, but do you think we could’ve gone to a barn dance and won the competition? Like come the f**k on!

    What is wrong with our mindset people. I have seen some amazing stepshows of the past decade and I am not greek, however, these ladies should have won second or third place, but not one, I am sorry, just because they are white does not make it right. I am not saying they were whack, but their movies were a bit from 2001-2003, lol. However, Alpha Phi Alpha, AKA, or Delta Sigma Theta should have won that from what I saw on YouTube seriously. This is getting silly as hell, people I think I judging based on Obama making history, now everyone wants to make history, even though they don’t deserve it seriously people. Stop this B.S. Just because whites or hispanics are in our competition does not mean they win automatically. The black college educated, and uneducated are starting to have a sense of uncle tom syndrome and deep hatered for ourselves.

    Now I bet when we go to white competition of anything, we won’t we as blacks. This is just getting out of hand now and those who are judges, focus on the talent, not the skin complexion…geez

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Dark_Zero/ Dark_Zero

    Oh yeah, get the f**k out of here for a standing ovation? Are you serious people? When black people are at they own events performing, they rarely get a standing ovation, but a bunch of white girls do? Damn are the shackles around our brains now they have left from around our ankles?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jamROC_king/ jamROC_king

    they was wack bottem line nothing special about that. it must be bcuz their white i hate to say it but ya

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/defregav/ defregav

    Wow, I think that’s amazing and I applaud the young ladies for winning. If they were that good then I def think they deserved a standing ovation. I’m so sick of black people always saying, “a white person shouldn’t win because this is ours or a white person shouldn’t be in this because it is ours” get over it!! This is 2010 so stop encouraging racism and all this hate we fester and start trying to approach life with an open mind.

    Just like the Caucasian young lady that won the HU pageant, I applaud both parties and congratulate them. It’s about time we started bridging this racial barrier we as black people create.

    BLESSMAY/Dark_Zero,

    SPEAK ON IT!!! Y’all gave me chills!!! I thought I was going to be the ONLY one who thought the white chicks needed to go on somewhere else with that tired azz, stiff Matrix act…Maybe this was their way of trying to get back at us for Venus and Serena. OH! and just about every other damn sport imaginable… hahhhaah!

    Those girls killed it! Plain and simple. They won hands down. I never saw nothing like it in a step competition and was well executed. You have to give credit where it’s due. The standing ovation was just for an outstanding performance. Don’t worry though…the next competition will be one by a black fraternity and sorority…even if not–who cares? ! This is a competition and the best group won.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/4JESUS_SATANCRUSHER/ 4JESUS_SATANCRUSHER

    LOVED IT! AND IT WAS ORIGINAL!…the black lady sororities need to stop shaking their faux hair around and stop wearing tacky clothes!!! Plz do better!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/gregsky39/ gregsky39

    thats funny dey won….they aint bad, but i agree a standing ovation wasnt necessary…we know it was only cause they are white…..no1 expected them 2b good enough 2 win. not a hater, but j/being realistic. if they win another contest then maybe ima hater LOL

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Splash_Waters253/ Splash_Waters253

    I guess it was the little off beat booty shake they did that got the judges and willie lynched trained coons hyped. It never fails how some of you will agree with the bullshyt but when it comes to a black dominated activity or sport go with the outsider. There wasnt too many crackers that were happy when tiger woods came in and took over golf as a whole but to get their acceptance he didn’t claim his black side and told people he was just asian.

    Them bytches were wack bottom line but maybe the judges were either white or just some dumb a.ss negros with mutt breed kids of their own. Anyway it goes there was better competition!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/gimpy/ gimpy

    This story reminds me of an episode of MTV’s “True Life” when they did a show on black frats and sorors stepping and they featured a latina (mainly puerto rican) soror that ended up winning the competition. Those sistas were blown. LOL!!!!! But I thought their performance was just the same as the other sorors but I guess they wanted to show love and respect to them since they were an anomally. And if anyone think that blacks created a race barrier then you are about as blind as Stevie Wonder walking the a pitch black snowstorm.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chocolatekisses2109/ chocolatekisses2109

    I aint gone lie them becky’s killed it what the hell is the world coming too thats one of the things that make black faternity and sororties what they are and to have they asses handed to them in somthing that they supposed to own should tell them that they aint bringin it like they need too i would have walked out ashamed to call myself a delat or an aka that night

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bobbydigital_75/ bobbydigital_75

    To be honest, even if that white soro did not deserve an ovation for their win, it still points out that when we complain instead of do, it creates THE BLACK FINGER POINTING AT ANOTHER BLACK PERSON syndrome. Meaning, instead of taking the situation with a grain of salt and become stronger, we have our people still cussing and screaming injustice. Basically, you just given white people all the credit because we CAN NOT come to together and be prepared for any parts of competition. It makes me so MAD that some of my people have the slave mentality and not find the answer within. Until we as people come to grips of reality and help each other, AMERIKKKAN society will still laugh at us when we cuss and fuss.

    IF THE REST OF THE BLACK CHICKS DID “STEPS” LIKE THE 2 ON THIS PAGE, I CAN SEE WHY THEY LOST. WHAT THEY DID WAS BEYOND NOTHING! IT’S NOT ABOUT BLACK OR WHITE…THE BLACK CHICKS WERE TRASHY AND UNORIGINAL! I CAN’T BELIEVE THE COMMENTS I’M READING. ALL THOSE BLACK GIRLS DID WAS THROW THEIR HEADS AROUND, SHAKE THEIR FLAB AND DO NOTHING! R U KIDDING ME???

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/truthserumX/ truthserumX

    Anytime a White person does something “Black” people flip the hell out over it. Eminem, oh-boy on the And1 B-Ball team, Britney Spears doing old Janet Jackson moves, White chicks with Black girl aZZ. Thing is that in away its Black peoples way of trying to make them feel excepted by us, even though if a Black group did the same it wouldn’t be that big of deal.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Successonmymind/ Successonmymind

    Honestly they did their thing and deserved to win. on a another note, You gotta admit there’s a lot of you black people out there, when ever you see a group or a white person doing something that is considered black, you guys tend to step back and say “that’s so cute, Wow, they should win” as if what ever their doing has just been taken to another level and is now better because it’s a white person doing it. Yaw know who you are and wow at 4JESUS_SATANCRUSHER comment, see what i mean.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/truthserumX/ truthserumX

    I want to say to those who think “we can’t have anything of our own” we can just don’t hype them up when they try to do like us. Look at how a lot of White people treat Obama. Its not enough that he went to one of the best prestigious college, it’s not enough that he’s educated and has the credentials, its not enough and hell he’s half White!!!!!! He still has to prove himself. So why should we be so quick to give passes when White people embark into our culture? Well, we could be naturally more accepting and subconsciously working toward bridging that gap. That makes us good people. On the other hand its often said that White people fear us and maybe them mimicking us is the best way for them to show they accept us as well. It just depends on how you feel.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/truthserumX/ truthserumX

    reading everybody’s post, I think its ok to give them their props we don’t lose anything by doing that and the next time you see a Black group and or individual do something good give them their props too. Its not as deep as some of ya’ll are taking it. There’s nothing wrong with passing compliments to a person of another race and nothing wrong with giving compliments to people of our race.

    Honestly its funny to me because I could care less about a step competition, but the anger some people are feeling over this is how I feel when people talk about Eminem like he’s some kind of god. He good but a lot of yall overdue it just cause he white. Its just like on Show Time at the Apollo, whenever there was a halfway decent white performer the audience would go crazy over em.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MyEyezAdoreU/ MyEyezAdoreU

    What the heck is wrong with black people that you can’t give credit where its due?? The matrix look was clearly hot. Plus no one’s glasses fell off!!!! Maybe now the black teams would step their game up instead of thinking because we created it we should win even if the performance is mediocre. They deserve the crown. All that ghetto head rolling and gesturing is played out. Step Up!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/iSEX-/ iSEX-

    smh@ all this animosity over a group of white girls that are good at what they do. Stepping has been an African American pastime for years upon years; when ever someone sees a white person tryna overcome there “natural handi-cap of being off-beat” and succeed…then ya’ll wanna hate. C’mon. Give it a break. And for the people who have said black people can’t have nothing to themselves. I got 2 thingz to say about that, A) Since when did specific activities have a race qualification and B) If all it takes for a handful of white girls with rhythm to make ya’ll so defensive…well then you have a lot more to be worried about.
    PEACE

    as far as the article goes I’m not greeki don’t get anything if they win. hell half you were in here yapping about the irrelevance of the organizations a few months ago when the article on alpha hazing so they put them on stopped the intake process. bridging a gap between whites and black my hand and half of the bridge is out and complete where is theirs?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/So_Sophisticated519/ So_Sophisticated519

    I haven’t had a chance to read all of the comments, so I am not responding to anyone in particular, but I find it real funny that the ENTIRE routine for the white team was posted and only HALF of the routine for the others. As someone who was there, the AKAs routine blew the others out of the water. So before others say that the other routines were trashy or they didn’t do anything special, please understand that EACH team had an 8-10 minute routine so what you are watching is a Snippet of the Deltas, Alphas, and AKAs. Just saying, if we are going to go that route lets be fair.

THEY WORKED HARD; THEY HAD CONFIDENCE TO GO OUT INFRONT OF HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF BLACK PEOPLE AND LEAVE THEIR HEARTS ON THAT STAGE;; THEM GRLS WENT HARD!!….AND IF ANYONE THINKS DIFFERENT THEN YOU ARE CLEARLYYYY LYING TO YOURSELVE…ANDD YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF “DI-NILE” RIVER!! lolol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/1913Delta5/ 1913Delta5

    SEE THIS IS THE RACIST BEHAVIOR THAT IS DONE NOW, AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. THOSE CORPORATE SPONSORS (ie Spite etc…) WILL NOT DONATE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO US (BLACK STUDENTS) AS A PRIZE/REWARD EVEN WHEN WE DESERVE IT. THEY GIVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO “THEIR OWN”, AND THATS HOW THE RICH STAY RICH, AND THE WHITES STAY WHITE. I’M IN A SORORITY, AND WE DONT LOOSE “STEP SHOWS” TOO OFTEN. SO I KNOW IT IS RIGGED, WHEN A “WHITE TEAM” BEAT AND WIN ALL OF US (DELTA’s,AKA’s, ZPB’s,OR,SGRIO’s) AND THE FRATERNITIES TOO(ALPHA’s, QUE’s, SIGMA’s, OR KAPPA’s). COME ON THAT’S CRAP. THE WHITE PEOPLE STOLE OUR MOVES ANYWAY. THATS WHAT WHITE PEOPLE ARE KNOWN FOR, STEALING OUR STYLE AND CULTURE AND BEING REWARDED FOR IT AS BEING GREAT INVENTORS.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Gado86/ Gado86

    ive heard alot of people say that they are “copying us” but if a white person was to say that about black people in sports, especially golf, this forum would be calling every NAACP member availabe. LOOK BLACK PEOPLE everything is not a race issue. they were better, they won. Stop complaining or making it more than the better team won. IF those young ladies did the same routine, but were black, would bp have posted this issue?? of course not, thats called reverse racism.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ms_cluvly/ ms_cluvly

    Okay 2 quick questions…………… 1. How many of ya’ll thought thought those girls should have lost because they were not black? 2. How many of ya’ll think they should have not even been in the competition because they were white? Be real people……Honestly i think a lot of you really need check yourselves and ask why are you so hung up being so racist? Oh I get it…..Black folks can work hard to break race barriers and succeed But if white people do it all hell is going to break loose. Those girls did an awesome job… They did the same thing Tiger Woods, Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Jackie Robinson Ect.. ect.. did.. They got up in front of bunch of people outside of their race and they competed their hearts out…..Now i will not say that these girls mad history..lol… But i give them props because like iSex said ” they had the confidence to go out in front of hundreds of black people and leave their hearts on the stage” Not only that,, those girls did an awesome job. I call it like I see it sorry…. Some of ya’ll won’t even say they did a GOOD job… You guys are judging them the same way racist White people judge us.

Not saying they were doing any moves I haven’t already seen before, but they were doing the damn thing still. I remember that sorority when I was in college…that was not the “cool” white sorority back in the day….I guess times have changed. Haters drink some Sprite and sit down.

    Them some bad b***hes they were on point, didnt miss a beat…and had their tied back in a ponytail which kept the hair swishing to a minimum so the dance was all you saw. They didnt reinvent step or change it, they just did it and I am not mad at them. I loved the Tau and the men were fierce, I just may go see it live next year.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/JessRenee07/ JessRenee07

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ohdrama/ ohdrama

    Wows it’s something about black folks always welcoming everybody with open arms but funny nobody wants to be associated with us. Everybody come to this country and is taught from day one that blacks are dirty and no good yet we want everybody to accept us and we kiss their asses to get along. Look at the black men in our society, they have even been taught to hate themselves and what they come from “a black woman”. Nobody is being racist but I think we need to preserve our culture and not let everybody thinking that it is okay to steal our culture. Learn your history of where stepping began and came from and I am sure you will understand what I am saying. I am not racist but I think we are so open to let everybody up in our mix and that is how we became slaves in the first place. Golf and tennis is not a sport and not a rite of passage as stepping is. Learn your history…oh I forgot, Black History is becoming a thing of the past because we aren’t making too many histories.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/getmygrownmanon1/ getmygrownmanon1

    Well it can’t be said that White people don’t have rhythym anymore, because them White girls shut that step show down. The Matrix theme is not new, but it was better than the others especially that old Janet Jackson rythym nation intro, shoot we was doing that back in 1990. They’re steps were more intricate especially that move they did where they held each others legs and were alternating and clapping each others hands=dope. They’re outro stroll was tight too. They were just good and the others were kinda tired and not very creative.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Bunnii85/ Bunnii85

    If a white step team had not entered the contest would this even be an issue…I’m so over the racist shyt. Black, white, blue, green, purple….I was at the regionals when these girls beat out the other step teams….they did an awesome job. Congrats to them. Maybe we as a people are too comfortable when we tend to dominate ONE PARTICULAR THING….like Wayne said…don’t ever get TOO COMFORTABLE….its always somebody out there looking to take your shine…

    Zeta Tau Alpha did very well. However, I dont think they should have won. I personally think the Delta’s had a better theme and a overall better performance. I watch alot of step shows at Florida A&M University and if one of our greeks did the Zeta Tau routine we would have expected alot more. We have high standards for our greeks and for everyone who is stepping. NO matter black or white they could have done better!!!

    These females won for what ever reason I don’t know. Of course it only shows that the talents and skills of Black is coveted by many. They might have gotten the moves down but they couldn’t begin to understand the historic implications of the moves. This is what makes their winning so absolutley obsurd.

    Its unfortunate that many Blacks don’t have such imformation at hand either. These same Blacks have been undereducated on their own history. As a result they are unable to look at the big picture and see the meaning on why this might be BS. Why would whites want to participate in venues created for and by Blacks? We were systematically excluded from all things created for and by whites.

    Yet when we go on our own and devise things for ourselves they still feel the need to ingratiate themselves into our world. Why can’t we have shyt to ourselves? All the numbers of major universities created for and by whites that worked overtime to keep Blacks out lead to the creation of Historically Black universites.

    Yes we eventually were allowed in these white schools but it took some people to get beat, jailed, and killed in many civil rights protests as a whole for it to happen. Yet we still have whites enrolling in Historically Black universities. I have nothing against some whites. But again can’t we have shyt to ourselves.

    Come on people! I never saw a white sorority stepping in a step show in my life. African American sororities and fraternities are unique for their traditional African steps. Why now out of the blue did a white sorority wanted to anticipate in all black step contest. Come On People! It sound like money to me. I’m not saying that the white sorority wasn’t great but its the principal.

    Don’t give up or lose your African American traditions to anyone. If we continue lose our traditions as African American people we begin to lose our substances of who we are. Trust me its principle behind this comment. Take a few minutes to ask a African American greek about their history and the tremendous struggles, trials and tribulations their ancestors sisters and brothers had to go through to establish their organizations, trust me after hearing African American students weren’t allowed to join any Caucasain sororities or fraternities you might be surprise to hear that.
    Has it change as of today not really.

    Therefore I have the upmost respect for all greeks. This isn’t about the color of the anticipates, its about the struggle to say am greek. Frankly am surprise and shock that Sprite allowed these young ladies to compete.

    Personally I’m offended that a company would go this low to not give the money to any African American Sorority or Fraternity even through Sprite were promoting a Step show which has been known as historical African American tradition.

    So all greeks out there stop drinking Spirte for a minute and see how the next show turn out.

    Motown_Lovely1 you like everyone else have a right to your opinion. But white people wanting to have their own their own shyt is the reason HBCU were created. Black people did not create basketball, tennis, football, or golf. Should we not want them to participate and applaud their great achievements? Pro-black not anti-white that is how we should be people!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MsLaLady/ MsLaLady

    Come on young folks. It’s not about their performance its about African American tradition. To hear an AKA state that it was ok. Wow the next time I’m visiting Grambling State University or Southern University i will mention to your soror’s that one of your sisters thought it was ok.

    Do you know how expensive it was to compete which by the way majority of contestantsed who anticipate in the Step Show attends (HBCU) Historical Black Colleges and Universities.

    Wake up people its not about their performance. It’s about an African American tradition. Now the money has been taken away from one of African Ameican greek communities. For years African American greeks has given out scholarships to young African American high school students to attend college and donated to non profit organization within the African American communities. Especially the AKA sororities.

    Now if you are still stuck on the performance and not the big picture. All I have to say is Wow!

    sorry iSEX I beg to differ, the routine was weak and wack, furthermore the mere fact that a white sorror was able to out step the ladies of the NPHC its the real issue, don’t want to hear no BS about how good they did or whatever, its disgusting to see cheerleader routine mixed in with Step routines. I wonder who was the black female or male that choreograph the routine for the ladies of Zeta Tau Alpha, cus it sure was not them. I am from the Islands and the day that a white dude can dance salsa, merengue or bachata better than me (us) must surely mean the we went underwater because of an earthquake or suffered as a devastating fate that exterminated all of us.

    Guy’s stop all the complaining. Come on now, let’s be fair. They did let a black man(well bi racial, close enough) win the election, which broke the all “White President” chain. So we had to give them something back in return. And what other way to show our appreciation? Me, me I know, letting an all white female sorority beat out all of the most profound frat’s and sororities around.( Lmao) Guy’s just chill we have a black family in the white house(non of us seen that coming). Hell, we dominate football, basketball, golf(well he is in denial)etc. And a black man walked away from a murder trial(however he did f*ck it up later)what else?

    They’re pretty good, but honestly I’ve seen better. This kind of reminds me of amateur night at the Apollo. Whenever someone white sings and sound soulful, they get a standing ovation AND mostly likely win the whole competition. Uh…HELLO!! We have been doing the same damn thing for years and get no recognition for it. Whether it’s singing, dancing, or simply having a big ass or full lips, it’s praised with other races doing it but not the originators. People wake up why are we so impressed when someone else does the same damn thing we’ve been doing for years? C’mon son!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/shygirlTJ186/ shygirlTJ186

    I’m with WezB37. I found nothing extraordinary about that routine. I’ve stepped before, and all they were doing was some simple, basic stuff. If that had been a black sorority w/the same routine, they would not have won. Because they’re white, it’s supposed to be extraordinary, because no one expects white people to be able to do that. It’s expected of us, so it ends up not being a big deal, and in the end, we’re the ones who lose. It’s ridiculous.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jTigga/ jTigga

    Let me first say that ZTA(white girls) were hype and that was good! They stepped pretty well not flawless but good nonetheless. The steps though were NOT ORIGINAL!!!!! Steps that were featured in the show were from, but no limited to: Kappa Kappa Psi, Phi Beta Sigma and Alpha Kappa Alpha.
    The reason they won is 1.They gained a lot of points for crowd participation. People cheered for the fact that they were white girls, that looked half decent, not the fact that they stepped great. 2. The judges were celebrity judges, none of which were greek or had an idea of what a GOOD step show should or would look like. so the judges scores were swayed by the crowd reaction. 3. We hold the Black Organizations to a higher standard becuase we see them more frequently and like with all things you see repeatedly we down play how good it was because of who it was.
    Those who saw the other step shows or watched the videos can see that the Delta and AKA shows were clearly better. The steps were more precise and more technical than those of ZTA. Some will say i’m hatin and some will agree but thats life. They were good but not 1st place good.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MrStayFly06/ MrStayFly06

    you have to give it to them they went into a competition where they were not welcome and danced there asses off, was it the cleanest…. no, did they make mistakes?…. yes, but so did all the other teams no one is perfect no team is perfect, but i tell you what they took the stage age owned it they had attitude and swagger they were confident that they can compete. Now i know all you black ladies are hating life right now saying they can never do what we do they can never be as good as me and as far as i am concerned that is reverse discrimination, white say that about us all the time and when they do we call the NAACP crying foul so lets not reverse the roles, I doubt they all woke up one morning and said to each other ” hey lets piss off black people by entering in the sprite step competition, hehe let call chris brown to be our dance teacher” get real, these ladies obviously these ladies had soul before they took the stage maybe they all have black boy friends i dont know. But I know this the minute we stop looking down at people who enjoy our culture and the beautiful things we do as black people the happier you will be because as far as i am concerned sharing and exercising other cultures is the only way hatred and bigotry will end, grow the f**k up!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/unknown54/ unknown54

    Ok I watched their performance and all I can say is that did alright. 1st place? Heck no. Honrable mention sure. This was their first time competing? They clearly need more time and preparation. But like the young lady stated earlier this was judged by people who are not familiar with stepping or step competitions. So based on that I can see why they won. All I have to say if you are going to host a greek step show judge it accordingly and not give extra points just because it was an all white team stepping. When I was in college which was back in the mid 90s there was always one white person on at least one of the teams. It was different but they were all judged equally and fairly. This is just my opinion.

    hehehheheh yall ready for my comment okay here it goes….Comeon black people by now yall should know well atleast the smart ones …that we have always been the originators, from music to clothing, to even education, politics, dont believe me travel to egypt…. Anyways whites have always being biting our style thats nothing new, but we have to continuously show love hell we are the are one of the only people who always welcome others into our lifestyle. I mean go try to compete in a chinese sword fight and see if you will win first place, but as blacks we always have had soft heart in loving others so yea it is a good thing. They won, did they deserve no, personally i loved some of the other performances better. Indeed , because they were all white and were able to do it that well, had a big sway in the judges decision. Its okay though, do not hate guys, lets just love and always remember we are the originators :) Keep on loving all:)

    I took the time to watch all of the videos from the bottom up. Therefore, the last video I watched was the Zeta Tau Alpha group. Honestly, all I saw was a bunch of white girls doing what I see black queens doing all the time, stepping with high energy. It’s nothing new. As a matter of fact, it’s so unoriginal until it looks like the black sororities decided to “finesse” their performances, which is not that original in itself, but it is less unoriginal than the moving fast as hell and stomping hard as f*ck. Seriously, how many times have we seen that?

    The only big deal about this was seeing white girls, who usually move with no rhythm, do something that the sistas are known for. And whoever the hel* said these white broads looked good must be used to lookin’ through the trailer park lol They didn’t win on looks, they won because the judges felt compelled to vote for them because you had a house full of n*guz actin’ a fool over their crack*r ass*s. Get it? House full of n*guz…house n*guz maybe? I’ll bet a lot of the same black folks cheering these crack*rs on are probably somewhere saying “damn, they won though?” Yeah they won dumbas*! You cheered ‘em on!

    Look, black folks don’t have much culture left after being stripped from our land. It’s one of the very reasons we identify more with “Greek” than the Egyptians they raped, murdered, and eventually destroyed. Ya’ll need to put some heiroglyphics across your chest and take pride in who you are and YOUR culture. The only reason white girls even got to participate in the competition is because we are practing THEIR “Greek” culture. Never in a million years would you see white folks walking around with heiroglyphics on their chest talking about I want to get in the African/ Egyptian step contest lol Blame yourselves black folks. We dominate their football, basketball, etc. and their media makes us pay for it by highlighting and making a mockery of the black players personal lives. If ya’ll are mad at this, blame black folks. They were the crowd AND judges. D*mn black folks, how much more of the little culture you have left are you going to give away?

When do you ever see the tables turned? You don’t, b/c Whites make sure they “keep us in our place” and keep what’s theirs, theirs. I don’t care how well the b***hes did, they aren’t even part of The Divine Nine yet they participate in the show, not as a showcase like people were led to believe, but as actual competitors. If you don’t believe this was staged and pre-planned, open your blind-ass eyes. I have two words for you- Miss Hampton. I just had to say it- I’m sick of this. F**k the politics.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Ms_Wrightt/ Ms_Wrightt

    I went to this step show and in my opinion they were not that spectacular. It is great that they embrace the African tradition of stepping but their moves were old and outdated. The only reason the crowd went crazy is because they were white. Had an African American sorority entered a historically white competition they would not have won on their first try, even if they were the best. They probably would have placed second or third. The AKA’s did a much better job than this sorority. Plus the judges that they had know nothing about real stepping. This was not a step competition in the realist sense, this was about entertainment.

    They were good and did their thing. Congrats! Hatred has no color. We as black ppl have always allowed other cultures to participate in our events. But I cant say the same for those same other cultures. Things have gotten much better. If you prepare and do a better job it doesn’t matter what color you are. They won so be it, on to the next one.

    Of course…..leave it to the brotha’s to get all butt hurt when there’s NEGATIVE talk about females of another race (SMH)! The truth is they stepped, okay…it wasn’t nothing to write home about. If it was some sistas that did the same routine all the brotha’s would say it sucked, wasn’t good or whatever…..! Anythime y’all see a white or hispanic women do something that black women have done for years y’all blow it up to be the best thing since sliced bread! It was average…aight….okay. That’s it…that’s all!!! The funny thing about it is when you see a white boi or hispanic man dance, rap or sing brotha’s can’t stand it and will talk looooooooooooong shyt all day!!!

    The white team was alright not 1st place, I watched some of the other teams and they were more precise and for those who say they didnt pause and went straight into their next rountine is wrong. It really wasn’t anything spectacular about their performance. I think they won because they were white and they were different. Just like when whites tryna sing soul music, some of them can’t sing it. Some can. I’ll admit I love Joss Stone, she can sing soul and Michael McDonald (old school). Hell some blacks can’t sing soul. It’s not about race its about talent. If you have you have it if you dont you don’t. These ladies did a good job but not 1st place material.

    it’s STEPPING, something anybody can learn, and any group of people can do.

    this is not news, nor is it important.

    damn, folks, if ‘sorotity/fraternity stepping competition’ is the zenith of your career, you’ve got MAJOR issues.

    “They hate us from a distance, but always trying to be like us.”

    Black People. Regardless of how far many of you “think” we’ve came in race relations, don’t be fooled into thinking because of Obama, the lines of race are now so blurred that race itself is no longer the same issues of the day it were even 40 years ago. Because if you forget who you are, and where we as black people came from and what we’ve went through, and that we STILL have a fight on our hands, then you will be playing into the hands of not having a defense, nothing to stand on as a community, especially from a political standpoint. That is the goal. And as a result of those choosing to forget who they are, black people are seeking a standard of living that is not of our own culturally (trying to live like white america), and in turn we begin to lose not only our identity and unification as a black community, we begin to turn against each other in forms of classism and individuality that breeds self-hatred. As a collective we are strong beyond measure. Individually divided and going for self, we are vulerable, so much so to the point where even white america will take from us and claim it as if it were their own (music,fashion, certain aspects of our culture). I am not surprised when I see young white kids rockin a fro or dreads, and most black women and men now shun these natural styles, rather insisting to straighten their hair to acheive a certain look and style that is not their own! So my brothers and sistahs, when you see white people doing s**t that niggas do, dont dare get upset wanting to speak against it. Because you’ve failed to look in the mirror and see not only what you yourself is trying to be, but you’ve also fail to realize what you’ve already allowed to be taken from us because of it. We are the minority FOR REAL! Our population is becoming smaller and smaller. But if you are living for your individual self, then none of what has been said matters to you anyway. And this is exactly why we as a people continue to struggle to rediscover ourselves as a culture in this country that has a hard time accepting us. We cant even accept each other!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LL2JG/ LL2JG

    they didn’t kill it, but it’s kool i guess. I do agree with DSuspect1 when he used the quote, “They hate us from a distance, but they always tryin to be like us.” It’s true. This win is just another thing they had the means to accomplish. Probably paying someone to teach them all they needed to know and watching Stomp the Yard as much as they could to get the moves down. So what, they won, good for them. But my question is why are they (they as in Caucasian Americans) soooo set on being black when in their eyes its the worst one could possibly be??

    It is truly amazing to see all the negative comments about this post. For one, this is not news! Two, if they didn’t win or place then people would be screaming that it was unfair. They stepped, they competed, they won…end of story. Take your frustrations up with the judges if you feel that they didn’t deserve to win. I’m pretty sure they can tell you why the won, but to jump into conversations of race debates over a step competition is absurd!! Everyone pretty much knows that African Americans have come a long way and we still have a ways to go. It is not up to Obama to change the perspective of how we as black people view ourselves or the world, that is our own responsibility. We have been having this same convo for generations and will do so for many more to come because too many people are TALKING about the problem instead of working to fix it. Congrats to ZTA! Keep doing ya thang!!

    Actually it shouldn’t be a surprised that they won. Think about it…you know in their heads they said “Black people think we can’t dance, let’s go hard to prove them wrong” . Never underestimate ur opponents because if u keep tellin’ ur opponents that they can’t do this and that u actually inspire them to do better.

    Come on… we are all God’s people. Everything always has to turn into a hateful black vs. white conversation. Racism is an ugly thing in any form.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/phazex_female/ phazex_female

    The winning group, in my opinion, was “okay” at best. Nothing to write home about. And for those that protest that blacks do not have to take a “us vs. them” stance? There is NOTHING in this society by the euro-clowns that is not preceded by RACE. A “standard practice” for decades by them.

    (shrug) They won. That’s it.

    Well i’m sorry but they were good, their moves were sharp and had originality and i liked the platform thing….and no its not cause i am white and their white, cause if they sucked i’d be first to say so lol. I don’t judge base on race. But, i also liked the group in the black pants and top (last video) which i thought they really brought it too at the beginning. Just because someone enjoys something doesn’t mean they are trying to be black. The black ice skaters that compete i never think twice about it and think they are trying to be white, one of my favs is a black woman from Europe or England who does back flips in her routines. I just wished the ladies would of pulled their hair back or something alot of hair flipping to get out of the eyes but maybe that was just the part of it. Who knows.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ohdrama/ ohdrama

    I WATCHED THE VIDEO AND YES THEY DID THEIR THING BUT IT WAS NOT ORIGINAL AND IT WAS ALOT OF “BITING”. I AM SURE ALOT OF US CAN LEARN TO MASTER CLOGGING AND OTHER CULTURAL DANCES TOO BUT DO YOU THINK WE WILL BE ACCEPTED TO PERFOM IT BY OTHER CULTURES? I THINK NOT…STEPPING IS A SLAVE RITUAL AND HAS HISTORY BEHIND IT AND IT IS ONE MORE TRADITION THAT HAS BEEN MOCKED AND STOLEN….COMPLETE FAIL ON THAT BEHALF!

I mean im not it to all that steping stuff but when i say this i was yes surprised !and i looked at all the vids if u watch them close some of the stepers were off pace ,and some were late doing stuff ……..and i mean as black people helll sometimes we dont surport our own b/c they are doing better than us n sometimes its more hatered bettwen black than it is whites some dont what to admit it buts its true ……..n if u cant see that these girls had their s**t togather then something wrong with you ……n meaybe until you come out ur little “box” you will always be stuck …….duces

    Good on them. People from all cultures perform dances form various culture and other cultures do accept us. I had met some talented women who majored in dance in college and they studied multiple dances and had the opportunity to perform them on stage. I wouldn’t say they “stole” the dance from us. be proud that people take an interest in the things we bring to the table. Some black get upset and want diversity classes done when they feel they aren’t accepted but will hate on another race when they perform something that came from us.

    Rave Gurl…
    Thoughtful dance moves… ? Therefore the others were thoughtless…
    Go figure coming from a black woman that calls herself rave girl.

    Nobody says these white girls can’t dance.
    Nobody says these white girls can’t win.

    But I do say black people as a whole are hard on their own race and easy on everyone else’s.
    Miss Angela if we just lived by your mother’s cliche lines then nothing would ever get solved.
    As some of the best things in the world that were ever stated were not nice.

    As for the dancing I believe it was stiff and predictable.

    And whoever says they were surprised to see white girls dancing to hip hop has either been trapped in a cave, doesn’t watch t.v. or hit the clubs. White girls do everything black girls do…

    Being an old school greek it is pretty tough for me to watch any of these performances. NOTHING in any of these performances is original and I didn’t think the winning performance was original at all. It had elements of all of the signature routines of the original elite 8 black fraternities and sororities. And they even incorporated some of the moves from the Iotas. Anyone with a little age on them would easily be able to call them out…..

I also agree with the person here that said the black girls need to stop shaking their faux hair and wearing trashy stuff.. Just do what they are there to do.. STEP.. WIN.. All I saw the black girls doing was trying to be CUTE and making sure that weave didnt come off.. Ughhh…Get it together young ladies!

    Shameful… you black folk can be so f**king shameful!
    So what if a bunch of white girls won!! Is that really stopping YOUR everyday life. If anything show love that they could for once be as good as us in something WE DOMINATE!! What kills me, is that everyone wants to talk about oh “F**k Greek this!!” , and “Oh look at these white b***hes that!”… have you ever sat down and thought about how much OUR CULTURE is so dynamic that PEOPLE OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE HAVE TO IMITATE US!! Black people don’t know their value no more. Shameful !! It is amazing how much hate we can give off but, when someone says something hateful to us when we do well in something that doesn’t have BLACK/ CARIBBEAN/ AFRO AMERICAN plastered all over it we get sensitive. FOR ONCE WHY CANT NIGGAS SHOW A LITTLE LOVE BECAUSE MAYBE THEY DESERVED IT!! MAYBE THEY WORKED REALLY HARD ON THAT STEP ROUTINE AND THEY F**KING DESERVED IT !! YALL MOTHA FUKERS BE BLOWING MY S**T!

    That is why black folk will never prosper with others because, we don’t realize that everyone else is looking to us for the new move in progression!! Y’all are f**king shameful!

    LOL

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/svnjewels/ svnjewels

    I love the double standards some of you black folks roll with. Damn sure don’t want to be excluded by white folks, but want all are ish to remain black..like I said before, that’s rich. We got a black president yet white folks shouldn’t be allowed to step? And ya wonder why we can’t get ahead. Some of us didn’t get the “whoa is me, the white man is holding me down” memo. Bill Cosby talked about ya’ll. Pick yourself up by your own boot straps and stop blaming the white man for all your ails. Now, back to the subject at hand. Here’s the difference between Zeta Tau and all the other sororities. They ACTUALLY stepped. Nothing more then stepping fundamentals. There wasn’t a bunch of cheers, profiling, etc, they stepped. And that’s what it’s all about, stepping. That’s what it used to be like back when I pledged, all they did was return to what many greek organizations have forgotten how to do, step! Bottom line, you can best believe they set the bar high for next years event. The sororities will bring their A game. But Zeta Tau Alpha from the University of Arkansas killed it, can’t even hate

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/1touchoflove/ 1touchoflove

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BabyTazzUSMC/ BabyTazzUSMC

    I will say it like this. What happened when Tiger Woods won his first PGA tour? He standing ovation for being a minority win a sport he was a sever underdog in. When Willie O’Ree won the first NHL scoring title in an all white sport he received a standing ovation. Danica Patrick won her first IndyCar Series in a male dominated sport she also received a standing ovation. SO WHY SHOULD THESE YOUNG LADIES NOT GET ONE AS WELL FOR STEPPING ON STAGE IN A ATMOSPHERE WHERE AS THEY WERE PROBABLY LAUGHED WHEN THEY MENTIONED THOUGHTS OF PERFORMING?

    Next, stepping is not only about how your steps sound. It is about how intricate the steps, movements, and formations are. Those of you with stepping backgrounds know exactly what I mean as well as people who have backgrounds with marching bands. From the clips I have watched, the biggest things I have noticed is that there were not many people shuffling their feet to get into a spot to correctly align themselves for the next set of movements, and if they did it wasn’t much (except one person @ 3:35 lol). Everyone individual moved as a one total unit and not adding their own style (whether it was a shake of the head, flick of the wrist, or little extra thrust in the waist movement). Might not realize it, but those little things in dancing can throw that one person off in an entire group, making the entire group look bad.

    Kudos to the young ladies of Zeta Tau Alpha. You did an excellent job!

    Let me clarify something for ya, uh white folks don’t tan to be black lol. All the white women who date black men DON”T tan, not sayin there isn’t but the majority of white women that tan i have seen with white men with white kids. So i thought i’d share that bit of information with ya. lol

    @forum
    whom thought that white folks can’t step. If you have any rhythm, can carry a beat, have some dance experience or can count beats you can step and dance. Take a look at American’s best dance crew on MTV and you will see all walks of life doing hip hop etc. 2 seasons ago they a group with white boys and i think 1 or 2 black men and the danced hip hop on roller skates, hey anything is possible. And i’m not sorry for feeling that they did better and i agree the lining and precision and beats were on, they had sharp moves. I will give credit where credit is due. Again i did like the other group too in all black but i liked the beginning better. I wasn’t for all the cheerleader moves. I understand why folks are upset and why feelings are hurt but they brought it and brought it when i am sure they know there will be the possibility of being laughed at, booed at and whatever. Just like bringing a white woman to a black family bbq, you know some black folks will look and whisper and be like “oh my gosh”.

    This is trend that I have been noticing as of late, that black people are getting out performed and outshined in certain activities we use to be dominant in. Every time I see a brother get knocked out in the boxing ring or an octogon or evertime I see some dance crew from japan out perform the black kids I shake my head. We are even getting out performed in the singing department. But this trend only goes to show you that we have beome too stagnant in our natural talents and now we are on the verge of losing out. We have become too confident and too reliant on those black stigma’s that use to get us by and now we realize that events like the step show only shows that we are loosing our edge. Black culture has transcend the racial lines that were use to keep us subservient now the whole world wants to be black and cause of that, the activities that we thought was reserved for us are heading the way of the dinosaurs. Step up your game black people, step up your game.

    Ms. ashley118059 you are too funny. Of course I’m being facetious when I say that. You have proven my point of how when ignorant black people express themselves the only thing that comes out of their mouths is cursing, name calling, and insults. Well guess what, I’ll gladly take your insults salt and I’m going to be a bigger person and try to help you out instead of following in the footsteps of those of us who have been “brainwashed” with ignorance. Let me help you out with your spelling; the word is disgusting not DISCUTING.

If ya’ll wanna talk about oh this is a black thing lets look at the young black artists thing of them wearing skinny jeans and s**t they sure as s**t aint a black thing! No one owns anything no pattens are owned by black people on step dancing so quit hating and fall back with the negativity!!!!

    As fast as you spit shine coons jump to the defense of these chalk bytches, is as fast as you should defend your own people. House negros are the first to downgrade a successful individual like Monique and Tyler Perry. Not one of you willie lynch trained coons gave them a standing ovation for their successes but these pale pilgrims come out the woodworks with some stiff a.ss shimmy to the left and right routine and you coons are all over it. Funny how being pro black gets confused with being racist. Tisk, tisk I’ll be the minority in this vote if that means that I’m not selling my soul with the rest of these kumbaya, lean on me fakes.

    its not about being pro-black or racist. its about being real. how the hell you expect someone to respect you and your race when you have ignorant a** people making caveman comments about how the girls should have not won because they were white? if you want to call me a spit shine coon and uncle tom, then do you and do everyone else who agrees with you. better yet call me the house slave because unlike most of you who act like the field slave, I AM EDUCATED ENOUGH TO KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG. I bet most of you who are out there upset about these young ladies winning this step show are the same ones who are living unhappy lives and blame the “white man” for being the source of your personal issues. WELL GUESS WHAT???? grow the hell up, give credit where it is due and stop looking at the color of someones skin as an excuse as to why they can or can not accomplish something in life. For you Ms. Splash_Waters253… thank goodness we, as a society of humans under one god, have grown past your tribes’ caveman like thinking.

    If I were a black woman, I would stay off of BLACKPLANET, I think it’s obvious that the site is more for non-black, multiculturalist and black men that hate black women and uplift other races of women to spite black women. It’s your own faults black women for staying on a site that news report after news report wants to force you to accept white people (usually white or non-black women) thieving your culture and we’re supposed to just sit back and grin about this shyt. The white woman is replacing the black women in everything, if this ain’t enough to get mad about, shyt well you just slow as a muphucca and you just ain’t gonna see shyt until it’s too late. This cycle keeps repeating, white people befriending black people just to learn their ways and steal their culture. But I guess it’s true what they say afterall, BLACK PEOPLE ARE STUPID and have childlike brains. And the females acting like if you have a problem with this, you’re jealous, they know good and well that deep inside this is wrong. Stop trying to suck on a niggas balls because you scared he gonna think you jealous of a powdered pancake azz cave b***h. He gonna think that shyt whether you agree these bytches were the best of not. No need trying to appear one way because it will bite you in the azz. These white bytches can come on our turf, win and get standing ovations but when we want to simply be on tv or in a movie with a leading role, they won’t give us shyt. They allowed to have anything we got because if not than they will accuse us of reverse racism, but we can’t have anything they got. And free equal rights is what we should have to begin with, for them to allow us to get an education or to be treated fairly is not the same as them asking to take over our creations such as stepping, black sororities, black pageants and the whole nine. Shyt we only have that shyt because we still live in a white supremacist society. I feel sorry for the niggabots (male and females) so quick to kiss the white woman’s ass. Guess what, you still a nigga either way and nobody is going to respect anyone that doesn’t love themselves and their own people first. No other culture allows white people to come in and dominate it….The Asians, hell no, The Middle Easterns, f**k naw, the Native Americans, yep and look where they ended. I guess black people really are dumb

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blaque_ivory/ blaque_ivory

    Splash_waters ain’t no need going back and forth with the FEEBLEMINDED (code word), they’re too dumb to see what’s really going on. And the black mammies continuing to fight for the white woman’s rights under the guise of not being racist or discriminatory, that is why the black woman is at the bottom of the racial hierarchy because black men and black women condone white supremacy. Dumb b***hes.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blaque_ivory/ blaque_ivory

    Where the fucc are all the black riverwalk dances while we’re at it? Or the traditional chinese dancers? Yeah, everybody else can figure this shyt out but black people, always bending over backwards for acceptance, when they never gonna accept your black azz to begin with. The seed is too deeply implanted of white supremacy, you can’t suck up and kiss ass to get rid of it. Whites ain’t nothing but mimics and imitators and because of them, the American blacks do not have a culture. Look at all the Beckies and Susans that now think they can tell us how we’re supposed to think on a site that’s supposed to be for and about black people. BLACKPLANET is no longer for black women, I would rather go to whataboutourdaughters.com than to be subjected to this overt black woman racism. Take a look at every story, it has a negative spin toward black women and also see how many times Kim Kardashian or any other non-black race is mentioned and shoved down our throats. Wow, yall must be retarded or something not to see this shyt.

    It really saddens me that some people can say the cruelest things. my personal opinion is if a person that always see everything as being racist and or putting a racist spin on everything is a racist. why can’t we as the “women race” be happy for those young ladies. they did a awesome job hands down. I have never been the type of person to dislike someone that has never done me anything. how can you try to punish someone for something that they had nothing to do with. how do you even know that their grand parents or great grand parents did anything to harm a african american. there was a lot of caucasians that helped out with the movement and was even beating and killed for siding with us. black people get mad when other races say that “we are all the same and look alike”, here it is some of you are doing the same thing, i think its called being a hypocrite. don’t get me wrong i do believe racism still exist but I don’t believe in tearing other people down.

    B/itch please! I’m not one of you puppet ‘get along gang’ characters so save that ‘we shall overcome’ bulls/hit for the birds. You remind me of the rest of these house negro porch monkies that are either bitter because they got shut down by their own race or think by brown nosing the pilgrims a/ss that will give you status in life. Like I stated in another comment I didn’t see not one of you coons congratulating Monique, Tyler Perry or the girl that did an outstanding performance in the movie ‘Precious’ giving them a standing ovation. You people are always to go overboard with your acceptance of other races but are the first to not support your own race. And who said I was one of your own, I’m Trinidadian and I’m sure you would’ve known that by lurking on my page. So don’t put me in that catergory with the rest of you jiggaboo, kumbaya chalk praising fools. Some of you really are lost souls but don’t get your panties in a bunch because I’m not here admiring these lice breeding devils. It’s black history month dear and its a damn shame that you all don’t know the meaning of that. Then again I’m not surprised so when you fools end up like O.J, Steve McNair or Chris Henry I’ll laugh to myself of how fast you tap dancing fools were to join hands with the enemy. Don’t criticize me, look at yourselves and remember where the f.uck you came from and where you still won’t be spit shining these pilgrims shoes!

    the platform step was tight. nothing else they did was original or outstanding. they just did a bunch of steps others did and have done.

    the Deltas with the car alarm and the one step was so original they should have won from shown video.

    the AKA’s with the foot bridge on each other was again what sororities and fraternities are based on teamwork and things of that nature.

    We should be ashamed of ourselves…..standing ovation. Yeah right! But that’s us….always giving people more credit for doing what we do. Hell, they should have at least had to top and exceed what others have done to win. But no, just because they had rhythm and did better than we thought…they were given first place. So, so sad! Yes, they did very well, but they did not deserve to win that show! They only won because no one thought they would be that good and the ratings were escalated. Alot of people who didn’t like the hair slinging, evidently don’t get it….they (AKAs) have been sterotyped as pretty girls so they fix their hair and look into the imaginary mirror. If that was understood, then maybe they would have gotten their props for what they did. And that step with the leg behind the back while stepping, set it off! ZTA did a really nice dance routine, but no a #1 step show–the AKAs did! So based on ZTA winning, we are going to go even further to the dance routines rather than real stepping. I think that is a shame. We are always so quick to go with the flow. Who cares what color anyone is; but we need to stop leaning towards the dancing. They can dance somewhere else. Step it up!!!
