Women's Jingle :: Side Step

[xxxBinky2gunsxxx]

@XOHugz0KissezXO tell me about it lol, killer calf workout! lol

[SuperMellie101]

Best part of dancing... Side step

[taviyuk]

This girl is an amazing dancer. The pride she displays in her movements are breathtaking, glad you focused on her 'cause she's one of those dancers you just want to watch. Thank you

[Icefrostfur]

My father has always been trying to get me into jingle dancing since I could walk. I have been waiting for him to finish my jingle dress since then. Some day, I shall dance.

[MissKateGibson]

Such beauty and grace...on her toes. Thank you Acosia for such blessed medicine...thanks for posting!!!!!

[shaylenealvstad]

I do not know why, but this just makes me want to cry! So beautiful

[shailleylalalove]

Holy shit, she's really good!

[EmilyOhLove]

It has come to the time where I have to make a new Jingle Dress. :) I stoked to Roll all my Jungles again. When I made my first dress I didn't think rolling each and every jingle would be as fun as I actually found it. The meaning behind them adds to the fun they are to roll.

I cannot wait for another year of dancing!

[allyssa6]

She's not even breaking a sweat! I do not like side steps . First time I did them I couldn't walk the next day lol

[flowNfly]

Fantastic Dancer and I love her dress

[ThaKiddKhalifa24]

She has her own badaxx style loveee it .!

[synnocide]

I dance jingle and love it. She's a beautiful dancer, but it looks like she's sniffin her armpit on the honor beats. Lol.

[2017drussell]

@synnocide theyy all have there own style!

[marielorraine87]

@homefryable i think the audio wasn't in sync with the video perfectly. most of the girls are in time with her too, the audio is just off a second.

[birneyqueen]

@homefryable well homefryable, when its a shitty song like this one here is hard to stay in beat, I kno becuz I dance jingle

[volleygrl25]

I dance jingle and after every powwow my legs are killin me...Especially after the side step, I do the one where your feet stay together..It hurts so much! But I love to dance jingle!

[ndngirl722]

best fan work I've ever seen!

[OneeLovee1889]

I love her dancing style! i think doing sidestep is easier than the crow hop, crow hop just wears you out!

[TheNativegurl12]

All though some traditional dancer will wear a plume hanging on the side

[musicedu77]

they raise their fans during honor beats i was told many different reasons like to honor those who have gone on. to honor the drum and other reasons. but old timin jingle dancers we dont use fans ,and dont wear feathers and its very low key moves.i carry and small purse and scarf and thats about it.

[musicedu77]

awesome. well the faster the song it hurts yar calves less. slower the song you put more pressure on yar calves



[porcupine2007]

who sings this?? whoever theey are, their gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooood!!!!!!

[SiouxperGirl1]

6 people cant do the side step. :( thats sad. this dance really isnt hard to do and is a great workout for the calves and legs.

[allyssa6]

@SiouxperGirl1 It really shouldn't matter if some ladies couldn't do. I know I wasn't great my first couple times it's all about being proud of what you're doing and trying.

[trinitycruz101]

Dang this girl tearing it up MAD :) She Good

[brasrica]

they look like asians

[Kanarahtontha]

whos singing?

[LizZaPizZa90]

raw as hell dude if u dont mind im takin dem movez lol

[kellylufkins]

why do they lift their fans up dourin the song??

[nativeonereyna15]

@kellylufkins they raise their fans on the honor beats i always wondered the same thing lol

[TheNativegurl12]

Ima jingle dress dancer n it hurts lil bit but if u r outta pow-wow season 4 lil while n u dont practice it hurts really bad wen u get back in2 pow-wow season just got back in2 it n muh legs hurt still from 2 dayz ugo

[TheNeonSmiles]

@TheNativegurl12 hahaha ive been out of season for a while too && damn those pow wows that i went to killed me. i was with my cousin & she was fine but after i did the side step my feet were hurting me so bad

[kootenay95]

funnest song to sing

[Suevalley]

if that ain't graceful idk what is!!! that was deadly!!!

[tittyTEE]

girls/women these days dance for show...not for the meaning of the Jingle Dress Dance...

When i was younger I danced for the elderly and young children. After watching this i see now people just dance for the money and fame. What ever happened to dancing for the fun of it and because it has meaning? I'm not hating, they all have skill but they lost the reason behind the purpose of the jingle dress...SMH

[kingoftribes2001]

haha looks like she's smellin her ol arm pit at 00:57 ...chaaaa

[XOHugz0KissezXO]

Holyy, man it takes alot outta ya doin a side step..... XD

[MsNavajoGirl]

@XOHugz0KissezXO Too me not a lot. I'm always energetic before I go up to do sidestep. But, yes it does take a lot out of you.

[Fancyshawler24]

OMG i love her dress. shes an awesome dancer!! :)

[2017drussell]

o gosh you girls all dance good and my sister dances jingle i dance fancy but i love this sidestep hope you guys make it tew the next powwow.....best of luck:)!!!*

[AwESomeRifficK798]

@homefryable Of Couurse Not !!!! Thiis Is How Its Suppoosed 2 Be.

[lucygothninja]

I think a lot of times Native American culture is over looked. It's sad. Because it deserves a lot of attention. Powwows are fun. Everyone should experience it. I love watching Women;s Jingle. ♥

[stitchy0405]

[missvioletskye]

i am so jealous of their dresses ... mine's so plain and boring. but still, i am so happy to be a part of what has been going on in my generation for aboriginal kids like me. i love jingle dancing , but its a shame i haven't done it for awhile :(

[thepowwowgirl]

[thepowwowgirl]

[thepowwowgirl]

[piratexfatima]

[exoticprincess651]

Hello,

This is a wonderful dance and I'm wondering if there are any good sources for descriptions, history, or background information about Native American dances online. Especially in regards to differences between the Nations and meanings of the movements and adornments.

Just a dancer who's hungry for knowledge! Thanks!

[birney420]

i know acosia, shes the bomb, she can really dance.

[ndnlaydee]
