any northern dancers?

[lighthouselvr]

Most of you seem to be southern dancers. Are there any northerners out there? Although we also dance for the same reasons, our outfits seem to really differ.

Northern Tradish dancer

I'm a Northern dancer. I have cloth and buckskin. I'm in the process of making a wing dress with applique when the hot hot summer days are upon us again......whewwwwwwwwwwww, I can already feel the sweat. I'm making the dress with the same pattern as my beadwork so I don't have to make new beadwork too.

I mainly dance jingle but once in a rare while I dance cloth. I have a Northern ribbonwork outfit. When I finally finish my fully beaded yoke dress, I'll also wear that.

Tribe

Hi,

I'm Chippewa/Cree, also from Montana. I am married to a Blackfeet from Montana also.

A wing dress is similar to a T dress but the sleeves are more in the shape of a wing.....hence wing dress

Creebead, you know what they say!? Blackfeet are the best to marry! at least that is what I tell my husband. haha
Maybe your husband and I are related?! my birthname is Big Spring and Skunkcaps are on my birthmothers side, find out and get back to me. I now live in Missouri, but have family up on the rez. I was adopted out when I was a baby:( . But had great parents that adopted me and my twin sister. Thanks let me know what you find out

Any new northern girls out there? Come on.. don't be shy. :) ;)

[Miss_Nish]

I dance Northern, too. Hello ladies... :Wave

For now, my top is made of cloth with some applique work.. and hide fringes. Hopefully, by August/september I'll have my fully beaded top done. :) I'm also working on a matching T-dress for the hot summer sun. Cutting out the pieces is taking long tho. BUT oh well... I can't wait till this summer.
