High step? I have never heard of that, not that I can remember so far, but maybe what you are talking about is that some dancers have "higher" footwork, more like fancy shawl, then some others who dance with their footwork closer to the ground.
I have seen both on the powwow trail, and each dancer has her own footwork/dancework, and it should not be copied, but you can ask for help learning here on this board regarding your footwork/dancework, there are alot of talented and giving people, eh girls?;) -
What is high step?
What do you mean? I agree with Riverwoman2000 on the footwork being more like Fancy Shawl. I didn't know that you couldn't copy it. Which kind of song are you talking about? A Straight or a Slide-Step? I know that I see lots of dancers go up on their toes for the slide-step. I thought that was cool but man it sure hurts your calves.
I have a hard time doing that for very long. I don't recall ever hearing either of those styles called High Step before. Maybe it (that name) hasn't reached here yet. Who knows. :) I just call the ones that dance more like fancy, contemporary style. The other ones I call traditional. Thats just what I've been told about the foot being closer to the ground. This is all just mho. :Angel2

I've come to you in a pursuit of knowledge, mainly about shawl dancing and the guide-line to stay as a respectful shawl dancer, instead of disrespected, so that I may know what to look for. I've yet to start learning how to shawl dance and wish to learn all the guide-lines before I work on learning...10-26-2010, 05:13 PM

For a while there we had this forum dignified and untouched by little girls asking "who is your favorite dancer", and then listing teen boy dancers. That's all well and good but there should be just a forum for that. We'll call it, "A place for little girls to ask who the best dancers...02-06-2004, 02:42 PM

I actually fancy shawl not jingle but I have always wondered what the tradition side step step is. There are so many ways people do it.
A friend who is Ojib once told me the tradition step was done be keeping the feet together and doing a bouncing type move with more knee bend.
There are...06-14-2005, 11:13 AM -
