Best In Men's?

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*

Thumbs up my opinion...

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 would have to agree with struggs on this...it's all about fluidity and blending.
I like to watch Alan Dowdy and Jordan Smith.

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.

I seen that one guy again that I said was super quick...his name is Tony but I dont know his lastname. He was at Oneida Wisconsin powwow. he danced in the boys 17 and under and he got 2nd and as far as im concnered he got ripped off boy. he had no competition out there but ofcourse a lil local boy got 1st. the boy was good but tony was untouchable out there. Frazer Sundown got 1st in mens smoke. beat out dem local boys and they weren't toooo happy about it. lol. but yeah it was an alright powwow.
