My mother used to dance fancy bustle and used to also dance the hoop dance.
My grandfather taught her.
Later she used to have a unique style of shawl dance. She was good at both.
A friend of my dad, once told me the guys would tease my dad when he danced fancy.
They would say, you should just let her wear your stuff, she's better! My dad was a good sport about it all.
This was back in the 60's and early 70's.
But, in the early 90's we had a little girl grass dancer in our community. She would
out shine all the little boys and win all the time. She was so good to watch. It would make
you feel good how much she would get into her moves. Today she does Jingle and she's a teen.
When it comes to women beating on the drum, I got a hang up about that, I say no. I think women back up singers are great, beautiful voices, but to actually sit and beat and sing, I think you cross to much. My vote is no.
