That continuum also includes (religious) shouts, numerous social dances, including tap dancing, many African American children's ring (circle) games & line games, military cadence marching, and distinctive "holy dancing" (also known as "feeling the spirit", "getting happy", "praise dancing"). <br /><br />It's my position that African American originated high step marching greatly influenced these later African American originated percussive movement arts: Black Greek lettered fraternity & sorority stepping, stomp and shake cheerleading, foot stomping cheers, and majorette dance lines (j-setting). <br /><br />I believe that it's significant that stomp and shake cheerleading, foot stomping cheers, and majorette dance lines (j-setting) all began in the late 1960s/early to mid 1970s. As documented in Elizabeth C. Fine's book <i>Soulstepping : African American Step Shows</i>, what is now known as stepping may have began as early as 1925 at Howard University. [p.45] However, the referent "stepping" for that BGLO (Black Greek lettered organizations) movement art began to be used in the 1960s and 1970s, and stepping appears to have taken on many of its current forms and grew in popularity among BGLOs in those decades. <br /><br />Visit <a rel="nofollow">http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2015/04/when-did-historically-black-greek.html</a> for the pancocojams post "When Did Historically Black Greek Letter Fraternity & Sorority Stepping Begin?"<br />Azizi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963772326145910073noreply@blogger.com
