Unfortunately no shame,our culture has essentially been stolen that's why so many BGLO's are adamant about this topic. Because of its meaning, it is very relevant to us. It's the principal of the thang! Alot of people won't admit it but their lineage is African American,Mayan,Aztec Indian,etc. But first and foremost its us . The salsa and merengue are dances based from our culture. It has yet to be OFFICIALLY recognized as such. It would be very hard for those orgs. to be original when we ARE the originators. Please don't be fooled for one minute if you think that credit will not be given where credit is due! Topics like these and others are generational...i.e. 40 acres and a mule! I digress... Yeah EVERYBODY knows where stepping came from and you may personally acknowledge that fact. However, there are so many more orgs. that do not understand the mere essence of stepping and for them its a fad not a cultural fact.
