Many tribes imitate-adapt-recreate the crow hop. When other tribes do it, they "imitate" this Crow dance. So in essence, it is danced to a double beat (when a non-Crow does it).

Males and Females from the Crow Tribe dance THEIR style according to their gender. They even compete with each other according to their gender.

When I judge dancers to Crow Hop, I look for someone who knows what they are doing. When a double beat song is sung - how well they "imitate" the Crow style of dance.

I hope this helps.
