Women's fancy shawl...

...this is also a good video of some good dancing fancy shawl...look at the feet. It's not like here in Cali, this is what I guess you would call a "down home" video. ;) peace

Fancy Shawl, Crow Hop

...here is a pretty good vid of a crow hop. You all know I'm about being traditional but this actually is not that bad, old school wise.

Watch the Feet!

For my regular readers, my auntie has just a couple days left from the cancer. For new readers, well my auntie has cancer. I wanted to post some dancing videos from my culture. We have old school fancy dancing and then we have fancy SHAWL dancing. It just makes me feel better to watch these videos. I hope all is well and thanks for sharing, thanks for reading. ;-) peace

For my Aunt D.

Old School


The new Fancy.

It's powwow nite...

...so I just got done about a half hour ago working from home and finishing things I needed to finish. So to relax, I take my ass to youtube and look for videos involving my people. So I found this vid, it is normally a traditional dancer man who closes out the ending of a powwow, but this lil girl did her thing. The reason it struck me so, was because she just has a shawl, no outfit, just a shawl. In the olden days that's all it was, just a shawl, all you needed. Nowadays, you have sequins and sunglasses and bright colors, but back then, if you had a shawl that is all you needed to be fancy. She's young, and technique? mmm...not the best but she dances, she closes it down. I give her respect for dancing in her tennis shoes...for not feeling bad she don't have no outfit, she uses what she has and she does it well. To me this is a real fancy dancer. ;-) peace
One more thing, more importantly...when everyone else is walking out...she finishes the song, she dances until the end. That is so cool. Love that. Hahempi waste yelo (have a good night) ;-)
