Girl, just get out there and dance. It's not about who's a better dancer, it's about giving it your all. Shoot, I have danced alongside Carol Melting Tallow, Georgina Jones, Rose Track, etc. Now they are bomb dancers and I am mediocre, but that ain't gonna stop me from doing what I love.Got percap? -

been to Gathering....
It will blow your mind. Be prepared to deal with other traditions, and make sure you go and register thursday (less of a line) and take a couple of blankets and tape to rope off your seating (benches suck) as close to the floor as you can (you may not see a lot, but its sure beats trying to race down the stairs to make your contest)! If you enjoy beading and making your own outfits, bring a notebook to jot down ideas for your next outfit.snaf, snarf!Comment

This is something that just gets under my skin. Dancers and singers should not have to pay to get into a pow wow. Heck, no one should have to pay to get into a pow wow. It should be FREE for everyone...that's how it was intended.
And, all pow wows should feed. I don't know how many...02-24-2009, 07:33 AM -

Here is a post from the N. Traditional Headgear board:
Somebody in this forum made a very good point in that all dance stuff is probably tied in some way to societies/clans. Because of this a dancer needs the "right" to wear or use it. I never really thought about this until I...11-03-2000, 03:45 PM -
To start out, this is my first post, and I am not a native american, and I really don't want to mess things up with my outfit. I'm in an organization called the Order of the Arrow, which is a section of the Boy Scouts of America, which I'm sure some of you have heard of. I'm not sure what views you...10-03-2007, 12:50 AM
