As the east coast prepares to batten down the hatches as Hurricane Irene prepares to make her debut, a similar storm came to Lucky’s Bar and Grill in Redford, MI last night and The Steady Steppers franchise is to blame.

Lucky’s Bar and Grill played host to the "Fresh Look Fridays” debut steppers set complete with guests from Flint, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Toledo, and of course…Detroit. Hosted by The Steady Steppers, over 125 people came out to support the group as DJ K-Mix and WGPR 107.5 FM helped to make the event come to life. This FREE event is ongoing each and every Friday.

It seemed as if hundreds of chicken wing baskets and an assortment of nonalcoholic drink specials were ordered as onlookers had the chance to sit at tables that gave them the dimly lit ambience that goes along with many steppers sets. This venue is similar in structure to Chicago’s famed 3G’s Friday night spot.

During the course of the evening, all of the Steady Steppers members took the time to walk around, greet and dance with their guests from 6:00pm-10:0pm. Secured parking was provided with a van escort as the lot quickly filled up with steppers and curious guests who had never been to Lucky’s.

Says CEO and co-founder Larry Collins, "This event follows The Detroit Steppers Network’s attempt to educate and entertain our community with this dance. Since 2003, the Steady Steppers has always made it a point to offer this city and its surrounding areas a quality venue, an opportunity to network and the occasion to get their step on.”

Guests included The Big Hat Gentleman’s Frank Westley, Versatile Productions’ Harvey Dobbs, SL&G, The Next Level, the Flint Ballroomers, Steppin E, I Love Steppin’s Jeff Clark, M.O.E Steppin’s James Pacely, Party People Productions’ Deborah Dixon, "The Steppers Hostess with the Hostess” Rose McDaniel, "Steppin in the Moonlight” R&B singer, Beverly Walker and the ladies and gentlemen who made the event possible…the steppers.

Congratulations go out to the Steady Steppers as they help to keep the steppin momentum moving in Detroit!
