Hello, I am new. I have had a dream of being a Jingle Dancer since I was little at my first pow wow. I was told it was a dream due to the fact I have no Native American Origins. Then I met a lady who called me Ji Ba Day (sorry phonetics) or Ghost Lady. She was going to sponsor me and teach me to Jingle Dance but I moved across the country. I really want this. I have taken a vow long time ago to be a natural healer, working towards my Phd, and also my certifications in massage. This was what I needed. So please if anyone has any information they can pass down to me, I am a sponge let me learn. I know the Jingle Dancer is the dancer of healing and that is what I want to do. Dancing is my second nature. I know and understand what it is I am asking for, yet I am still asking. Thank you for your time and any information you might have.
