double beat vs. single beat

[bushy_braids]

recently i've noticed that fancy dancers are given the double beat crow hop to dance to where they dance "crow style" crow hop... as opposed to the single beat where they dance more "fancy style" crow hop including more jumping around, footwork, and movements.
now this is something i've just recently noticed and was inquiring about...what do you as fancy dancers prefer and does it occur often that you recieve a double beat as opposed to a single beat?
has it been occuring more recently that you've been getting a double beat?
personally, i've always enjoyed watching fancy shawl, especially when they do crow hop...single beat style cause it's much more challenging and there's more footwork involved in the dance.
i mean...don't get me wrong... i think it's neat that fancy dancers are learning the "crow style" crow hop and they're doing it more...very interesting...
but am i making sence? help me out here & let me know what's up & whatcha think....thanks!

I like them both. But I'd hafta say I like the single beat crowhop more.

[MayChe]

i enjoy watching the double beat crow hops, but I would rather see the Crow style dancers doing it instead. I prefer the single beat for fancy shawl. it seperates the "in shape" women from the "out of shape" women.

Single Beat for Fancy Shawl.

WELL I LIKE BOTH

[dancing_spirit**]

I like both styles. I love to dance a double beat...ya just getta glide out there and ya know that you look good. Just down in Washington this weekend I got two double beat crow hops...it was soooooo awesome...NE way...I also like to do single beat crow hops...then I getta bounce...ayei...:bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy:

I like both styles as well. If the dancers only get one round of competition, then I like the "single" beat.

In my opinion I think that a double beat is ok for specials or somthing. But when it's a contest, especially in women's fancy one of the goals that a dancer should have is to challenge there athletic ability. they all do the same thing in a double beat song. I think what should be done is having women's traditional do that song. Crow women when they enter a catagory they enter women's traditional, right?

i'm sure dancing the song is challenging the dancers leg muscles, but with a regular crow hop you are able to watch steps, style, bounce and endurance....

BOTH........ has my vote

[she_dances_life]

I love dancing single beat, I like dancing double beat. I love watching both though. Double beat is hard to control your movements!! Eeks! I look like a fool dancing double beat.
