Is it true only black people can stomp/step?

Question

I've seen Stomp the Yard, and Step/Step 2. When I told my friend that I was interested in that kind of dance, he told me that only black people can stomp/step. He said it was part of the cultural identity. Is that true?

Is there any similiar type of dance that other races can do?

Answer 1

No race is excluded from this, its just that you generally find this type of dance in HCBU's

Answer 2

hiphop

Answer 3

yes it's true that black people stomp better then white but that doesn't mean that white people can't do it m brother does it and he's really good so that doesn't rule white people out. Good luck

And in step up two weren't white people stomping too?

Answer 4

no way haha i one of my friends shes about to be 14 she weighs like 80 or 70 pounds and can she dance she can step she can do everything u can think of its so funny!!

Answer 5

For the record, Black people do Irish dance (see below) as well as ballet and ballroom and other so-called "white" dances.

So while stomp/step is part of African American culture, it is not only the purview of Black people.

Answer 6

no its not true

my friends and i do and we are latin. n sum of my white friends also kno how 2 stomp.

Answer 7

thats not true. if anyone can dedicate time to a certain type of dance, overtime, they'll be the best.

if your interested in something, do it. my asian friend tried to excel at salsa dancing, and she's by far one of the best salsa dancers i've ever seen.

best of luck(:

Answer 8

Thats not true. Im on a step team and im white as you can get. I also have a background in drums which also help with stepping. If you really want to get into step you should get into a dance/music class. Also work really hard on being fit.

Answer 9

no no no my step dad does \ his friends do to and they are all 'white'

Answer 10

no it soooo isn't!!! it's not like irish dancing where irish people dance.. it's not like its called the black dance..(not trying to be racist)

Answer 11

I would not think that only a certain race can do the dance.....not sure
