HILARIOUS!
honestly, i thought it was pretty freaking awesome :)
This is clearly why the ritual of 'stepping' never crossed over to other Pan-Hellenic American subcultures outside the South on a main-stream level. It is a reflection of tribal ritual...and not something that should be engaged in without consideration and proper choreography...it was however very entertaining.
