I THINK EVERYONE AGREES THAT OKLAHOMA HAS SOME OF THE BEST FANCY DANCERS ANYWHERE. RG IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE ONE OF IF NOT THE BEST. HE HAS BEEN WINNING FOR 26 YEARS AND HAS WON PONCA THE TRADITIONAL 4 TIMES WITH WOOGIE AND PEEWEE CLARK. RED EARTH, SCHEMITZUN, ROCKY BOY, NEW TOWN, CROW FAIR, HINCKLEY (ALL AROUND TWICE), PRAIRIE ISLAND, TO NAME ONLY A FEW OF THE NEW AND OLD. NOT TO MENTION ANADARKO'S FAIR WHICH IS THE SOUTHERN FANCY DANCE CHAMPIONSHIP ALONG WITH PONCA. BEING PONCA ONLY ADDS TO THE TRADITION OF THE FANCY DANCE WHICH ORIGINATED AT THE PONCA POW WOW BY GUS MCDONALD. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE A FANCY DANCER, STUDY IT, KNOW IT'S ORIGIN AND GIVE IT THE PROPER RESPECT. OLD SCHOOL TEACHES TO DANCE AND DRESS THE TRIBE YOU COME FROM. HOW MANY CAN DO THAT?
