What is "skitting"

vb. (present participle of skit English)

Skitting or stepping is an underground dance style that originated in South Africa. It has two main styles, the original style, often referred to as Truth style or old school, and float step or heel-toe. Stepping is a very creative dance style adopted mostly by the South African youth, with original moves being applauded by the stepping community, and copying of moves frowned upon. This has allowed for a rapid evolution and expansion of the dance style especially since the beginning of 2012, with many communities (such as schools) having their own unique version of stepping (which will be loosely based on one of the main styles).

Skitting is particularly popular in Johannesburg, where it originated as well as Durban and Cape Town and is prominent on the club scene.
