Jason Wallace is a 6th grade English teacher by morning, and a stepteam master in the afternoon.

He started stepping when he was in the 7th grade. He's continued stepping all the way to college.

"Stepping takes a lot of skills, and a lot of discipline," Jason said. His team practices 11 times a day.

"Jason is like a dad to me," Galvin Frederic , a 6th grade stepper who is always at Jason's side, said.

"When the steppers are stepping, they should stand still not able to move at all," Jason said. "That's something people should learn in life."

His college step team did so well, they had the chance to compete at state.

Jason tries to bring that winner mentality to his BT Steppers ExEl class everyday. He also emphasizes the importance of "getting crunk," meaning showing a lot of enthusiasm, everytime they perform.

"The (BT Step) team is amazing. I was blown away by there performance," 7th grade Science teacher Morgan Matthews said.
