Hot ! Hoop Dance Native American Thanksgiving Flute & Dancer

[aichan95]

Hoop Dancers are featured at some Pow Wows. The hoop has no beginning or end, it represents the continuity of the spirits of all living things. cool huh~?

[superiorXmind]

@matthewhobbs88 exactly how is this stupid? You say it but don't explain why so I'm asking why?

[ankerbah]

uh dis is sumthn new kinda awkward no offfense though

[onggabbo]

@ankerbah no where near new, you just live under a rock my friend

[suezqcumber]

In 1968, when I was 11, I went to Anadarko, Oklahoma for the anual pow wow. While touring the villages a young man did the Hoop Dance. He was one of only three people in the world who could do this dance at the time. I was mezmerized. It was like he had no bones, only muscle. The emcee said that the dance had almost disappeared until this young man volunteered to learn it. I feel honored with this memory. Oh, and I love the music. I think I'll have to purchase a CD.

[corriecrow21]

LMAO. Am I the only one that thought he was going to jump in the middle at 4:24?

[TiNYKITTIES]

why is everyone hating on the music? it sounds great. great music, great dancing, great vibes, great appreciation for life

[TiNYKITTIES]

@matthewhobbs88 you fail at life

Thanks for sharing!!!

[disowner84]

I thought that was very fast dancing, and you can tell he is very skilled with his art from his performance 

[ArkansasGillum]

[ArkansasGillum]

[chaipasquoi]

fluide and telling something...nice dance and music!

[Kgarcia607]

[jasperanderson]

i hoopdance me and my lil sister shes only 5 ys old im ten

[wickedwagonman]

My four year old exclaimed, "the bird is dancing" then at the end. "the hoops look like a pumpkin!"

What are the hoops made of? Plastic? Wood? They seen very light.

[CookieBruja]

pretty good, but he jumps through the hoops kinda slow compared to the guy i know. i like the part at the end but i like the eagle our guy makes. ***** five stars from me.

[HelenaTrojanskaja]

amazing:)

[bonobobb]

awesome talent.  I'd love to see this live

[audacity226]

Amazing skills.

[egocrusher]

that was pretty crazy.....

[revolversmoke]

Very nice mix with the music and dance

Loved it

[Heartforce]

Beautiful I've seen this done in Lake Tahoe by the Washo Indians. Very soothing dance

[opheliasopus]

Hoop dancing is amazing! I just watched a performance @ SCCC with my class & they were captivated with it! This takes a lot of talent and tenacity to accomplish. Thanks for sharing with us!

[Viperalus]

WOW! He is amazing!

[PWatts3000]

LMAO! This is the most ridiculous thing that I have seen! Why is the white band playing for a native to dance too? So much for our culture being sacred!!!!!!

[sheshisbrat]

maybe they are friends... (we are friends with other races... unlike you..) you dont know anything so quit poppin that junk you think you know but dont...sooo stupid

[fina510]

i agree with you! plus the title is "Thanksgiving" this obviously is THANKS-TAKING! it is ridiculous ... hes a good hoop dancer but in the wrong context ...

[comradeinjun]

Kinda Sounds like the Kung Fu theme for a bit there lol, very good.

[Renecca13]

Beautiful!!!

[yinyangboarder23]

[bowtothahoesyo]

[pmariew]

A-mazing!!!!!!

[PrincessOf7Ocean]

wow nice song!!!

i want to be a native american dancer...

[puertoricoindepencia]

Tribes have different dances I doubt we would teach a white person, or black or whatever thats not native american.

[PrincessOf7Ocean]

how about mixed? i am mixed with japanese, black, and native

[AdawehiMeliLayton]

5 starz!

[taniutza1]

[tubeparker23]

[xHardCoreVibex]

lol das dem nicht schwindelig wird xD

[starburstcandy01]

[LRO20]

this is really awesome! this guy is really gifted!

[natvfeather]

Native People have gifts from the creator to mentor this to their people. This guy is a gift for our eyes.

[nanamom83]

This video rocks! This is such an awesome dance to watch at a Pow Wow. The music is perfect! (: Such an art!

[Renfronator]

[Brightangel001]

This is the first time I've seen a hoop dancer perform to anything other than the drum,but it was nice.I especially like the flute.

[n8tivguitar]

[chaysamo]

[fuadUSA]

amazing....

[8Nappaluupandb]

Nice Demo!

[kwanitahawks]

wooooo!!! super

5 *****

[sheilahalvy]

Dude he was at my reservation a month ago. He's amazing. My drum group sang for him. I don't know why these fruits are singing. They aren't even native.

[tubeparker23]

how do you know they dont have any native blood? besides give them respect for having an obvious respect for the native culture.

[femmasapiens]

i saw alot of condor/eagle... and maybe something on the universe being an immutably round and whole yet evermoving force? or am i too philosophical? and something about the hoops together at the end was poignant too.

[amangne12]

AWESOME!!!!!!!

[psuedosurfer]

The guy's got the moves!

[fourtimezthru]

Faved, n kudos, dude that was the best iv seen so far

[RebekahJF]

He must be really dizzy by the time he is finished. I would be falling on the floor just from spinning around like that.

[Peace7Maker]

look at the indian religious dance that make girl spinnning for hours... that would make me dizzy... lol

[ChiefEaglefeather]

YOUWHERE FANTASTIC Lowery! GREAT JOB GOD BLESS YOU! JEFF AND THE BAND WAS AWESOME TO. SHOULD HAVE STOPPED WITH Lowery! THOUGH. LOL GOOD JOB ALL

[IroquoisBoys]

[MizzPolson]

[koolkree]

[Becki622]

Go Lowery! WOOHOOO!!!

Looooong hoop dance! WOW!

You are better than ever!

LOVED it with Eye of the Storm!

5 stars!!!!

[giveittomeraw]

Yeah so a guy like that came to our school a couple days ago and did the same thing, it was pretty funny. Especially when he put his daughter in this hoop dome thing that he made and she ended up not being able to get out.

[MrBruceBarham]

[MCDahl44]

That was beautiful. Native Pride Yo!!!

[xxxxhixxx]

hoop dancing is amazing

[lishus3]

The dancer Begay was breathtaking, brilliant but that backup music was awful. Why not just the flute player and drop the rest...

[buffalobee187]

[lindseytyson]

Sweet. The hoop dancer is Awesome-O and Jeff Ball is definitely believable as a flute player!

[SOLDADOCAP]
