Steppin' dance experiencing S. Florida resurgence
BY NATALIE P. McNEAL

The lights are low on this Friday night at Hallandale Beach's Millennium Ballroom, a modest hall tucked into one of South Florida's dozens of nondescript strip malls.

The mirrored walls and wooden floors have been transformed from a banquet hall into a destination for a steppers' ball.

The men have traded their distressed jeans and Air Force Ones for tailored suits and polished spectator shoes. The women are wearing strappy cocktail dresses and three-inch heels.

No hip-hop couture here. The look is grown and sexy.

The article requires registration, which is slightly unfortunate because there's an interactive thingie there that made me annoyed with the quoted section.

See, we're talking about mature Black folk, doing "the hustle." So where the hell did the "Air Force Ones" line come from?
