I'm new to this site, but thought this particular area would be a good place to ask a general question.
I wasn't raised at powwows as a little girl, but started going in high school and college with friends of mine. (And yes, I'm ndn... well... mixed anyway-- Tuscarora.)
Anyways... I quit going to powwows for a couple of years because I ended up getting settling down, staying busy with work and then I ended up married and now have a baby boy who is my life.
I want to get involved again because I want my son to grow up with it. I already am working on a little fancy outfit for him so he can start as a tiny tot, but I'm considering starting to dance myself-- Jingle... even though I've never danced powwow before.
I feel pretty confident about being able to learn it, but I have to be honest that I'm very nervous about jumping in this game here in my late twenties.
I want to do this so I can participate along with my son-- I always wanted to dance before, but I was just too self-conscious to give it a shot.
I guess giving birth did away with most of my inhibitions. LOL
ANYWAYS (yes... I'm longwinded) do any of you ladies have any tips for me... an old woman of 28 (LOL) starting out in the world of jingle dancing?
(And I welcome any advice from any moms who have tips for starting little ones out.)
Nya:weh
