Deejay Stil Bill controls the wheels of steel at Mr. Ricky's Note to the delight of the steppers crowd. They do it with the style and serious attitude often associated with the dance. These are after-work folks who come in suits and sophisticated hats. The women wear whole ensembles, colors matching from head to toe. Other women have gone home for a hipper halter top or a bootleg pant.
Women watch the dancers from their seats, lest they get charged with trying to be picked up.
Not too cliquish though, a single person can come here and find a stepping partner, but most come with their own in tow. The music is booming and sounds good, especially if you're a stepper. Floor-model size speakers surround the dance floor. Early on the air is pretty clear. It gets a little busy as the night plays on.
