Favorite Side step style

[Ojibway05]

I like, and I do the flat side step. It's amazing how much this dance has changed! I understand it must be "harder" to do the "tippy-toe thing", but I don't think thats what it's about.

I like the dancers who look like they are doing the side "step", and not the side "prance".

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.

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 do the flat foot...you know with the little bounce. There's nothing like alittle "junk in the trunk" to get all those cones moving

I like to do the slide on my toes But it is realy hard.

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 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.

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.....
