I think he means style as in Fancy, Grass, Traditional, Straight, and Old Style.

Iowa_Boy

Nice boy scout view of the powwow world. Shhhhhh, be very quiet, or the guys in the Chicken dance forum might hear that you left them out.

Okay then.. who was the best fancy dancer from your lodge? Maybe you should contact him
If you don't know ask Mr. Yates, Dal Newbold, or your Dance team advisor? Croatan right?

I think he should ask Professor Plum, he's in the parlor with a candlestick.

Hahaa Yeppers, that's what I meant.

Usually, it's the other way around. Old Fancys don't quit...they go Traditional!!! LOL

I once saw Keith Colston try dancing Eagle Bustle. Poor boy just couldn't get the footwork down. Didn't take him long to go back to what he knew how to do.

Or head up the road about 30 miles to Hollister and ask Archie and some of the boys over that way.
