I'm from Saskatchewan and my whole life out there I never knew that a Jingle could dance crow hop.We were always taught that it was only for Fancy dancers ,maybe grass.Like the Sneak up is for traditional men. But i have moved away from sask and now living in Nova Scotia. I went to a powwow in Ontario the one on Manitoulin Island and out there they had crow hop for all dance categories.That was the first time i seen that,it looked really fun cause everyone else was doing it so I decided to give it a try.
But I still don't know wether its exceptable or not
Some people do it and some people don't.
[The story behind the crow hop, in my tribe, is that the crow is out looking for some food (worms) in the ground and they bounce or hit the ground and make the worms think it its raining out,so the worm comes out.]
Theres a story and reason for everything in the powwow circuit.So in conclusion..lol..this jingler is up for trying new things, I still find its really weird to see Jingle do this dance.I guess you gotta make sure you do it right, if you wanna dance it.There some dancers that make it look good and some make it look funny.So I don't know.
Still wondering on wether or not its exceptable.
I think I should just phone my kokom....lol
