Patto Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 True Stomping was an artform when done correctly.It involves a fast shuffling of the feet to very uptempo pounders.Back in my youth club days i was quite good and my feet used to move as fast as bees wings.Lots of lads could do it but it was knackering and to be honest thats why it has died out,but you still see people on todays scene stomping in bursts.Big stomping records at our youthy were The Champion The Kid Dance To the music The Flasher Along comes mary Reaching for the best Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

A great aerobic workout for over 2 minutes even at 54. Just turn on the pacemaker and 'GO FOR IT'. Even your dodctor would be pleased to know you could go all the way through with it.

Steve G Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 At the risk of hijacking the thread there are two types of record refered to as stompers. Thjose with a bang bang 4:4 beat that are simply fast records with a heavy percussion, and those with a complex tripping rhythm.....so one man's stomper is another man's errr stomper I suppose.....The ones in that mag were probably the first type...... The stompers I think we're on about are the latter (fast tripping complex rhythm) such as: Lovelites, Flaming Emeralds, Gene Chandler, "Do me right", Wil Collins, 7th Wonder 'Captain", Joe Hicks, Alfie Khan, World Column, Cheryl Berdell, Life "Tell me why",Anthony White "I can't turn you loose".....in fact I'd say most stompers were influenced by the Mecca / Cleethorpes Pier type sound when I think about it....

Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) Don't know what others think but I would consider this 'stompin' to a modern tune even if I am shot down - it's fantastic dancing wish I could master those moves "> Edited April 28, 2009 by mikecook Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
