BIO - A FEW WORDS ABOUT STEPPIN' B
Steppin B., Brian Patterson, was born and raised on the Westside of Chicago, the city from which Steppin' evolved. When Brian was very young he would listen and dance to the sweet sounds of R&B oldies such as the Whispers, The Stylistics, and
Dramatics. In 1995 Brian (nationally known as "Steppin B.") would go into the Steppers clubs watching the club goers dance
and sway to the music that he loved. It was then that he discovered that he was able to quickly mimic this dance. In 1998, he pursued Daryl Davis and L.C. Henderson, to whom he became an assistant. This world-renowned dance form of Steppin' became the passion in his soul and overtime Brian developed his own unique signature movement and style, therefore mastering the art of Steppin'.
In 2006 "Steppin B." stepped out on faith and landed in the heart of Los Angeles which is where he now resides. He admits "I
had the opportunity to relocate and teach what I love to do and the ideal weather makes Steppin' here a year round venue". Having been acclaimed for his "Steppin B. Workshop" classes, Brian's focus is on educating and demonstrating the basic fundamentals of Steppin'. He is passionate about teaching, exemplifying patience to train any race, gender or age. Being an enthusiastic stepper and instructor, he has shown that he is a Master as a professional consultant for those who want to train
or prepare for competition.
Brian offers private and group workshops for a range of community businesses including corporations, colleges and schools, both private and inner-city. His classes are held in Los Angeles and surrounding areas. Being influenced by the way of tradition, Brian also offers his talents for special occasions such as weddings and family reunions.
