How about why did you choose to dance jingle?



It wasn't really a choice for me , it was somethng that had to be done. I had a dream and it was so strong that I had to make the dress to dance in. And the purpose was very clear after I completed the dress. Because everything in my life changed after making the dress. And only good things have been happening to me since. So it was a good thing to listen to my instincts a followed my dream.

Its like I did not choose to dance jingle - seems like I was chosen to dance that way. Dreams tell us a lot and when taken to an elder for interpretation you have a responsibility to fulfill that dream. :)

i never really had a choice either i jus started dancing it and later bout 1 yr, my mom asked me wat i wanted to be and all i said was nothing. I dont kno why even, now days i dont kno why i never answered her, i jus kept dancing. I've been dancing for about a total of 7 years and ever since then i jus danced not for money but for fun and to help others, yeah sumtymez it might (not) seam that way but yes i think it was jus because i had it in me and to do jus what they say to do so idk but.....whenever i dance i say a womans name that needs help and i dance for her, the person i picked out kinda scarey but ill keep dancing till i get old........ well thats all i gotz to say....:Angel2
