:) Yeah, the way I was told was that the Old style way of dancing jingle is to keep at least one of your feet in touch with the ground, to Mother Earth. Also, that the dance itself is a more humble dances style, not so flashy and fast moving, more dignified if you will. Also, the way the dance moves around the circle is in a zigzag fashion. I like to go to powwows where there are older women dancing, then you are able to see the old style used, it's good medicine!!;)
