MaggieB · 08-27-2003, 05:24 PM

Okay. Who is you Favorite Staright dancer? and Why?

Str8Dancer49 · 08-27-2003, 06:57 PM

ME!
ME! ME! ME!..... ME TOO! (catch that Matrix reference?)
Why? Cause I'm always just cuttin' up!
BWAAA HA HA HA HA! Couldn't resist that.... gaw
:large:
Seriously, gotta say Larry McCurtain.... guy just has moves, plus some nice clothes (though I gotta tease him 'bout his bright orange shirt.... same color as the jumpsuits from Caddo County Jail! ay!)... hardly get to watch him though when I gotta go up against him, though he is in more of the senior/golden age categories lately.....

**walela49** · 08-27-2003, 08:42 PM

make that two votes for Str8dancer49!!!! :worthy:
Ok, so I'm partial...gotta vote for my brother!

So, uuuuumm MaggieB, how come your gender says male and your picture says female????? Huh huh huh? Betcha didn't even realize..............

northerndngurl · 08-28-2003, 12:43 PM

Lewis Cozad, of course!! He is so graceful(I think he knows he looks good out there too!).

Buckskinrose · 08-28-2003, 05:27 PM

Ralph Haymond, Jr. .........he is the MAN!! hands down.

I could watch him all night long. He is soo smooth and has his own sophisticated style.

Please remember him in your prayers for his speedy recovery from the auto accident so we can see him in the arena once again.

Props to Denny Medicine Bird too.... cool style, looks like he's a puppet on strings..... though he might have a bit too much of the "hop" that folks don't like. Anyway, a (relatively) young guy already making older guys sweat and kick it up a level.

I thought Straight Dancers were supposed to be smooth and stately when they dance. Not looking some kinda ways.

Some of these dancers appear to be more of a race horse, running around the arena, rather than dancing. Just my own opinion -- don't want to cause a fuss.

I hafta agree wit ya, supposed to be dignified not jumping around the arena . Just my two cents

My Favorite dancers to watch are:

Micheal Plumley
Clark Pepper
that Deer in water Kid i can never remember his first name
AJ Leadingfox

but in general if you don't do the "hop along" thing I would probably like your style

spicysouthern · 09-04-2003, 11:37 AM

Me i love my dancing i kick it around and take it minute by minute step by step and its all kewl. I seen some dancers that are like mexican jumpin beans and that aint kewl chill out and be kewl us true southerners know it best so just ask

ern_dawg2003 · 09-04-2003, 05:30 PM

My Fav Southern Straight Dancer would have to be Ralph Haymond Jr. sorry to say he was in a car accident, it would be awhile till he dances again. My other Fav would be Jarod Buffalohead cause he has his own style and a 5 tyme World Champion in Junior men's southern straight in Schemitzun!!!!!

lbgood · 09-10-2003, 11:44 AM

Hopefully some of the straight dancers mentioned will make it out to the Southern Ute Fair Powwow. September 12-14, 2003

They have a regular straight Dance category with cash prizes of: 1st - $800.00 , 2nd - $600.00, 3rd - $400.00 , $200.00

The Goodtracks family is also sponsoring a Straight Dance special during the fair too with prize money as follows:
1st- $1,000.00 , 2nd- $750.00 , 3rd - $500.00 , 4th - $250.00

So defintely there is money to be won. I will post the winners after the powwow.

ern_dawg2003 · 09-10-2003, 06:26 PM

oh yeah i forgot to mention, I also like my own style of straight dancing. So, I vote for myself to.

TX_Gourd_Singer · 09-11-2003, 01:46 AM

I would have to say that the best straight dancer are:
Ralph Hammond
Michael Plumley
Kiowa Cozad
Kelly Switch
Justin Yearby
Larry McCurtain
Warren Queton
Stratford Williams
Archie Mason
Daryl Moore
Nashoba Simmons
Terry Tsotigh

........but the all around best straight dancer would have to be none other than Daryl Wildcat. I sat next to him at the University of Texas powwow and he was the bomb. I had never seen someone so intense when they dance. It was just SWEET! Dance on to all you straight dancers A-HO!

WolfTears · 09-11-2003, 02:52 AM

Grady Shadow Hawk Jones ... he puts his whole self in his dance , an makes you feel where he is or has been.
