I just read an article about R. Kelly and his new song about steppin’. I have no idea what this is. I thought it was the choreographed stomping dance that people do in teams. The article talks about how everyone dresses very nicely and dances to Luther Vandross. I am confused. Is it just dancing or is it a special kind of dancing?
