Well, define smooth.....I personally like the way Jason Lightfoot, Ralph Hammond, and old school dancers who dance that style.
I also like to see Lewis, Terry Tsotigh, and Juaquin Hamilton dance. I like to see Ronnie Dee when he is in his zone and he is awesome.
My dad won the Newman Littlewalker trophy four times at Ponca Pow Wow, and retired from that arena as tradition required. Those days, there was no spinning around or backtracking, only STRAIGHT dancing. Now there is competition dancing, and that is more flashier, fancier,etc.
I like both styles. I enjoy straight dancing in any form. It is a beautiful dance. I have a nephew who belongs to the Pawhuska district, and I love their ceremonials.
Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!
