Good thing I never thought it was cute and never did it. The furthest I ever went was teaching a group of high school girls in a mentoring program one step that was specially altered for kids to learn and perform.

Teaching another org (D9 or non-D9) some steps (or how to step) moves from cute and flattering to annoying, copy cat, and "damn, can you create your OWN stuff" reaaaaaaal quick.

Exactly. I once had a middle school cheerleading team when I taught school and they wanted to learn how to step so I MADE UP steps for them. I did not teach them SGRho steps. If you are a stepmaster or stepmistress, you should know how to make up steps. You can recycle beats and make up different motions or even use new beats from popular songs. It's not that hard. Many are just lazy!
