What should the judges,mc, or ad do if a dancer is injured or passes out during a contest?
I've seen 2 things happen...once was a knee injury that caused a fancy dancer to go down and the drum stopped and the mc got the arena cleared. They re-danced the contest after the dancer was carried off.
Last powwow I went to I saw a jingle dancer pass out and everyone kept going - even when some other dancers who were EMTs went out onto the floor to help the girl.
Is it just a judgment call by head staff?
