During the sneak up, I've noticed that the jingle dancers in Crow Creek South Dakota dance along side the women's northern traditional dancers in the same fashion. Or, they can do their moves along side the fancy shawl dancers but I think tradition dictates that dancing along the women's northern traditional is best.

I'm a woman Northern Traditional dancer and during the sneak up songs, when the drum stops, we stop dancing and wait for the next verse or push up. I believe all the other ladies do the same thing, just wait for the next push up to dance again. :) Hope I understood your question and answered appropriately!!

I just stand on the side until they're done, or I just go sit down...
Pardon me, but is this an actual advisement from your elder? Do you realize what the sneak up represents? It is required that when there are eagle feathers in the arena, especially when it's men's northern traditional, all are required to stand in respect of our forefathers. Now, are you willing to change our traditions?
