Old school as well eh? One of the greats in straight dance was definitely Smokey Lookout (50's-60's). He's the only dancer to win both the fancy AND straight championships @ Indian Fair on the same night! Of course you have to mention Abe Conklin (50's-80's), Cecil Rouwalk (50's-60's), my father Jim Anquoe Sr (60'-80's), my uncle Leonard Anquoe (70's-80's), Bitsey Stabler (50's-60's), and Owen Walkingsky (60's). Ronnie D Goodeagle was another keen one. Good list for the poll here - gotta go w/ Terry Tsotigh (even though he does sing w/ my drum group!). Ricky Eaves should be in it as well.

BOB MURRAY!! this was my uncle and he used to win and change into his fancy dance stuff, and win that too, was pretty smooth. That was keen when those old guys were able to do that.

Those are a great list of Straight Dancers. Please keep in mind though, this poll is just for 2008.
