Mormon Happy Feet

Stepping is something that we Sistas learned at a young age and still love to this very day. At some churches step teams are used to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. (Psalms 98:4) Often when we think of making a joyful noise, we think of singing, but singing is not the only way to praise.
Remember that one penguin that couldn't sing and all the other penguins said, "Oh heaven no!" And then he learned how to step and then the other penguins changed their minds and said, "That's tight, he's with us!" (We're paraphrasing of course.)
If you know us, you know we are all about Motab. The choir is phenomenal, but we want to focus on the stepper in the choir today. Yup, the Mormon's gotta stepper. It's Brother Richard Elliot, take a look at his fancy foot work and you'll understand why the Sistas want him on our step team.
*Side note: We not tryna start a choir war, but we would love to see a step off between Brotha Alex Boye and Brotha Elliot. Who's your money on? (Monopoly money of course, cause we LDS aren't supposed to be gambling.)
Make a joyful noise,
Sista Beehive & Sista Laurel

ha ha, that is fabulous footwork! our little lds group in college went to another religious group's step tournament...it was awesome. They had invited every religious group on campus...The Mormons were the only ones to take them up on the invitation. Best night ever!
I saw a BYU Weekly TV show that had some gals doing that and other were trying to join in.....that should be a new club on campus.......love the post!!!!

Stepping is cool. Very cool.
=)
That was most awesome, thanks for posting. I love the way the organist dances on the pedals.
The organ guy was really cool but I vote for Alex he's an awesome dancer and he's sooo cute!!!!!
So glad I found your blog! You ladies are a hoot.
Where the Mormons just audience members or did they enter the step competition too!
Sometimes BYU's Black Student Union will put together a step team, it's a lot of fun.
We agree!
Yes Brotha Elliot is really gettin down on those pedals!
FYI Alex Boye is married and stop telling him he's cute, he's got enough of an ego as it is! ;-)
Welcome!
Na, we were just observing! But we were certainly out of our seats more than once! Great time...The other teams were from other schools I think...
I love your posts because the thoughts make me smile. Yes stepping is so important and I enjoy that a lot. I love to dance. I love watching the feet move when one plays the organ. Lovely video and very fun post.
Blessings to you for the smiles today.
Now that's a danceoff I would really want to watch!
And I just want to say that the first time I watched my hubby play the organ, watching his feet was my favorite part. It's amazing to watch the heel-toe action.
