dipping

[Turtle]

when you compete how low do you dip or bend your knees?
do you think that the lower you get the more points yu'll get?
i think that if i bend lower maybe my fringe will swing more whatdya think?

okay to the subject.
I always keep my knees slightly bent. B/c otherwise my fringe don't sway like i want it. Yes when you bend more the fringe goes more.
Also I wear osage clothes and the belt in the back is supposed to sway from side to side. I have noticed that most osage girls do a bowlegged side to side step while they dance. I think it is b/c they are concentrating on their belt. I have found that if i keep my back straight and bend futher than nomal it sways better. Plus you don't look like you just stepped off a horse. It works for me.
