All around Favorite Jingle Dress Dancer?

Jinglemama07 · 07-16-2008, 01:48 AM

Who is your all around favorite jingle dress dancer? Not just who has the best moves,prettiest dressesor a beautiful face, but they have to carry themselves in and out of the arena with respect. Someone that doesn't just dance for the money, maybe someone who looks out for others....a true model.

with due respect to the MANY lovely and talented dancers....... Willow Jack defines/portrays native pride with a classy style to me

i would definitely have to agree with that....there are too many out there that can dance and have nice outfitst but their stuck up and won't speak.

I would have to say Jennifer Youngbear! I think in the arena she is a awesome dancer with her own moves her own stlye of dresses she really stands out from the other girls in my eyes and out of the arena shes really nice as well! i think she is a good role model for ne young dancer trying to make a name for themselves in indian country not just that but a over all role model to any young girl or young person!

Jennifer is nice to talk to but, I'm not really digging her style. She does have really nice outfits though.

Well my favs are Grace P. Dorothy C. Thea M. Jackie K. Nona K. I think dat all deez girlz are very respectful n are AWESOME dancers... N deez dayz unless ur baller baller u have 2 place 2 keep on goin 2 da next pw... So I don't like it wen ppl say dat ppl only dance 4 da money... n other thang, powwows are not pagaents... So if some1 doesn't go up 2 every1 n say hello it doesnt mean dere stuck up....

I really like Britany Yarholar. I seen her dance at Tulsa Powwow last year and she really impressed me. I also like GB Bender and I have to mention my daughter, Erin Casoose. I'm bias of course but she is an up and coming champion dancer.

Jinglemama07 · 07-17-2008, 11:21 AM

i didn't say that some of the ladies were stuck if they don't speak, i know that everyone isn't real outgoing, but it is rude when someone speaks to you and you look at them can't say hello back....

also i think its disrespectful when people are steady talkin loud during the prayer at the pw.

My grand-daughter, Adalia Plain.

At 7 years old, she still has that purity of a newborn. Respectful, just loves everybody. She learned the meaning of the dance and carry's it in her heart. I hope she never loses that as she matures.

Any children dancers have that. Don't be shy to post your special child dancer here.

Jinglemama07 · 07-17-2008, 12:09 PM

I really like to see children like that dance....they could probably teach a thing or two to the rest of us.

**Kiwehnzii** · 07-17-2008, 03:55 PM

Children can teach adults a lot of things.

I would have to say sharon (eagleman) fineday. There are many others out there.....

I like Acostia RedElks style, dresses, and the way she handles her son during the pow-wow. Hes autistic and needs so much attention. Patience she has. Often she will stay up all night sewing a dress the only time she has.. I think sometimes dancers who dont talk are just shy or just trying to keep dancing.

Jinglemama07 · 07-24-2008, 12:00 AM

yea there are a lot of shy dancers, including myself at times, but i always speak if someone speaks to me.

I know the feeling about trying to sew with kids....really hard with 2 little boys.
