Best In Men's?

Strugganona · 06-21-2006, 10:32 PM

I know that everyone talks about the Ladies in Smoke Dance, but the Men don't get nearly their due...My question is who yous think is the ultimate in Men's Smoke Dance?

I always thought that the best was tied between 2 guys that DO NOT GET ENOUGH CREDIT!! Herbie John and Jordan Smith....If you watch them dance, that's how smoke dance should be done.

Its all about the footwork, smoothness of the body movements, and the ease of blending them together. It's not that hard to dance fast, but it should be fluid...which is rare to have the total package like these guys do.....So if you get to watch a Smoke Dance, look for these 2 so you can see how it's SUPPOSSED to be done

That's my not-so-humble opinion *L*

yes...it may be biased...but i do believe that HERBERT JOHN III is the greatest thing to smoke dancing since sliced bread!!! if not herb, then i really enjoy watching CAM ANDERSON and LYLE HILL. HA! i like them guys that put on a show. but not TOO show-offy! war dance wise.....i'd have to say kyle dowdy jr. man, he's killer!

I don't know all their names, but I love watching Russell Smith dance when he does, and YES Kyle Dowdy Jr.

My all time favorite male dancer is Kyle Dowdy Sr. I remember watching him dance at the Turtle Mound at the State Fair one year. He used this awesome feather fan and he had the slickest moves. He had some skillz! I was only young then, but I'll never forget watching him. He danced like he was floating, it was awesome!

I like the old style myself so i like Cam's Dancing a lot. A close second is Jordon Smith.
