are fancy shawls ready for the double beat?

[quicksilverwade]

What does everybody think about the double beat for fancy shawl? How long will it take before it becomes commonplace like the crow hop? I first the double beat August 2002 in South Dakota at the Crow Creek Fair in Fort Thompson during a teen girls all around contest song. I guess it means a lot of fancy shawl dancers might have to take some lessons.

i really don't think it's going to be that hard... besides, everyone has been getting a lot of practice... there's this John gurl from out Phx way, she's good... she's got a real nice glide...no stomp... that's what i like to see from the fancy shawl gurls... they're suppose to be graceful not jerky... in no time, eveyone will be dancing the double beat... i love to crow hop so, i'm excited about it all...

I guess we will be seeing more of the double beat in fancy dance since this is the trend that is going on now. It is alright, but I like to see fancy dancers kicking it to fast paced songs. thats my 2 cents.:D

double beat

well my main concern will be how the girls from southern california will handle the double beat since the judging is always based on politics and familyism.

[jingle genie]

is there really any really good shawl dancers down in So. Cal.... i mean Tawny Haile is good and hmmm, right now i can't really think of too many others...

[quicksilverwade]

I can recall Tricia Withorne but she's in Lower Brule right now but you are correct as to are there any good shawl dancers in socal.

[jingle genie]

Tricia rocked back in the day... i mean, we had some good ones out there but, everyone just stopped now, we have heidi star holding the fort.....lol

[quicksilverwade]

wait, tricia is still rocking the day. Just during the summer she place 2nd at a south dakota powwow overtaking sherri bird who took 3rd place.

I haven't seen Tricia dance in a long time and i've heard she is doing good... and i'm happy for her.Now, i didn't mean for you to get offended by what i was saying, i only ment it in reference to the fact that Tricia is no longer here in So. Cal, even you yourself stated that. I thought since you had said that you were wondering how the girls out in So. Cal were going to handle the double beat that we were just talking about shawlers in So. Cal.

I've seen Bonnie T. handle the double beat, U. Kanuho, R. Track, i mean, it's catching on real fast and it's just a matter of time before it's being done in place of the crow hop....

Trica needs to come back and school Heidi. That girl gets to wild. I heard Heidi getting new stuff Wonder whats that gona look like:Chatter

[quicksilverwade]

I think I've seen Heidi Star, is she the one that's real pretty? Oh jingle genie I hope I didn't sound offended, maybe because I was typing too fast, okay?

Way way back in the day this girl from Yuma area used to tear it up. Hey jinglegenie you should talk her out of retirement.:p All she needed was some fly beadwork .Maybe her cuz will help her.:Help
Sol Cal used to have some scary competition. I would just dread making my way threw the parking lot to go register. Is Netty here, the With horne sis's, the Roubideuxs, Monica Big Left hand? With the exception of a big casino most weekends it's just one or two competators.

[VIP4life]

Heidi Star pretty? :JawDrop :dontknow: :34:

[jingle genie]

LOL, dang wallflower... i'll do some talking but, she said old age has taken over... the only fancy moves she does are the ones to the kitchen on the oreo raid.... those were the day's though, i remember all those gurls, and i always wanted to be like them when i grew up... quicksilver, i just didn't want you to feel like i was talking smack... and i didn't want you to think that... actually, i knew tricia real well back in the day, she's always been a cool chick... and her sis too, i haven't seen her sister in a long time... her babies have to be big by now....

[quicksilverwade]

I understand. I've been keeping in touch with tricia aka tanksida on this site and she is doing just fine. she's attending a university in south dakota. and mary withorne is staying with my mother in ontario, cal. her kids are just fine and big as can be.
