Favorite Side step style

[04jingle26]

Just wondering what everyone thought about the different styles of Slides. Do you guys like the more tradish flat footwork or the fancier on the toes slide? and why?
I personally love the flat foot side step. Looks real graceful, especially if its done really confident.

i like it when they do it on their toes. it seems harder to do.

i like it when their on their toes or flat footed...what i dont like is when they start doing fancy things with their feet like crossing them or doing other stuff

i like dancing flat b'cuz it just looks like a lot smoother when i watch some gurls do tha side step on their toes it looks like they are sizors and cuttin up tha arena....but then iagian i gues it matters who is doing it and what they wanna do.....

I agree BubbleTrouble, it just looks like a bunch of hokey stuff, lol. There was this one girl who was in teen jingle, and her sidestep was deadly! She was on her toes the whole time, and was doin the washboard (lol, mind you she did it gracefully). And then there was this other girl who just kept criss-crossing her feet, which was kind of, well you know.

Flat footed.
You can go the jingle dress gallery and watch the video from the National Powwow from this year. They did an exhibition on each category, orginal style, :)
I hope that helps.

I like it when they do it flat footed but when they are on their toes amazes me the most. It makes it very interesting to watch.
