bout double beat n old style crow hop?

[powellcreek]

how often do you get a double beat or crow hop song? because i personally go to several powwows a year (more this year than past) and i've never seen a crow hop song done. whats up with this? is it a locality thing? i'm on the east coast.

so when they give fancy shawl a double beat, what do you judge it on?..........on a basic double beat or how fancy you are with your steps?........i dont know but I'm used to fancy shawl dancing to straight fast songs..........

Really? Where on the east coast? I'm up in Rhode Island, and I've only seen the double beat once. It's always the crow hop being done around here.

Ohhh man i do love a good dbl beat!! I do it the more old style tradish way... i guess... i dont try to add a lot of steps... maybe just step the right foot a couple times then the left a couple times... but i think it looks better the old style way... no spins or whatever... on the down beats i either go backwards or dance in place...

OHHHH!!! I love a good dbl beat!

Crowhops... eh... they're a BLAST too! as im writing my shoulders started to shake... whats that song??..

Ohhh gimme the feeling that fills my soul... i wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift awayyyy...

all i can say is a double beat is more of a foot slide... and a crow hop is just that... it's like skipping around to the beat... i LOVE crow hop songs!! i'm not a big fan of the double beat!! (not for womens' fancy anyway) but i have heard that Northern Traditional women look wicked during a double beat!!! they need a video of that on here!

Im in ohio and i see it every once in a while at leat twice a year but most on my powwows are in the fall. Last time i danced it i was in PA. Not many drums around here know double beat songs. i guess it just depends on where you're at.
