Every time I hear the drums and music and see the dancing my heart races and I'm filled with emotion like I want to weep. Gramma tells me it's my blood, my ancestors.
I love the way the editing intersperses seamlessly the women in full regalia executing this powerful female cultural treasure! And the drumming and singing are an inspiration!
My daughter is autistic and has been graced with Jingle Dance. With her autism, she doesnt just jump out and make up combinations. For the 1st time EVER she told me, "Mom watch" with such a simple combo she is FINALLY confident. THANKYOU!!
I am one of the elders who can't dance jingle, but I am working on improving my walking so I can make it at least one time round the dancing circle in honor of my departed son
After reading your comment my heart was heavy for the loss of a native brother, your son. I have to know, we’re you able to walk and slowly join the dancing circle? I’m sorry for the passing of your son. I’m registered First Nations, MiqMaq, we may be of different bands and tribes, but we are of the same earth. Love to you,♥️
There is so much that I love about this video! It preserves part of my culture that was lost to me, the ladies danced beautifully with class and I really loved that they dressed modestly compared to other dance/workout videos. Also like how it was filmed in a creative way. Thanks for sharing! I am going to have to learn this dance!
I never realized how high-impact-aerobic this dance is. SOOOOO much respect for those who compete in blazing heat, in full regalia, all summer long. This opportunity to break it all down and do it in the privacy of my own living room has got me pooped. Oh well. Worth it for the opportunity to share these traditions, learn something, get fit, AND look less of a sore thumb at a pow wow.
When I opened my Google browser to do a search there was a "Google Doodle" with the title "Celebrating the Jingle Dress Dance."When I looked up "Jingle Dress Dance," Google led me to this video. I'm originally from Louisiana and grew up in a small South Louisiana town where Coushatta (part of the Muskogean Tribes of Native American People) Indians. Anyway, a good friend of mine's Father, whom I used to go to school with collected the arrowheads of the Coushatta's that were all along the lakefront of Lake Arthur. Unfortunately, by the time I grew up 99% of the tribe had moved away, so I wasn't exposed to the cultural influences, but there was one Coushatta Elder, we called Chief Eddy, who was very well respected in our community and lived on the lakefront. I appreciated the video.
This is awesome. I grew up attending pow wows with my family and I begged my mom to get me a dress but she told me she would only get it if I danced but I was too shy. I want to start dancing so I can rep my culture and honor my grandparents.
I had no idea what this was- Google gave an acknowledgement to this dance today 6/15/19. And so I look this video up. What a treat to see such great video production, What a great idea to teach and also have work out video and a way tp preserve the history and bring it alive to day! And even share with dancers of other type. Swell Done!!
I remember going to pow wows with one of my friends who is Navajo. People outside of the culture tend to not think much about how much practise is needed to pull this off. All the power to you.
As an American Indian woman in my 60's - I am very proud of these girls and their representation of our heritage! I'll be dancing with you today (here in my yard in southern Colorado). Let's bring rain! Beautiful and thank you!
Do you have any tips for like kids (because I’m a kid and I’m like 12) because i am just starting and i want to be a jingle dress dancer and ( i live in Alberta Canada and I’m a First Nation) I always wanted to be a jingle dancer ever since i was 4! I always seen jingle dress dancer and I wanted to be them one day and now i am learning and I wanted to know if you wanted to give a tip to me...?
I’m excited to dance my first powwow this year, I’ve been to plenty but never danced and this summer I finally decided that I’m going to with my nieces! This was very helpful ! Can’t wait to go out there😍🙌🏽
Tip on the toe tap don't look down don't worry on breathing heavily😂 also when you do the toe tap you put all of your weight on one leg and switch your feet side to side and repeat
I am of the white nation, and if you had been dancing when I was a kid, I'd have joined you. Once I was in a High School marching band, and I saw a very young drummer brother playing in front of his home. He was using a skateboard and a umbrella to play. The next day I told him I saw him. And he started to cry. I told him "Oh no, you don't cry. And you be ashamed about being who you are. And if anyone tries to shames you, come get me." The tale is, if you feel shame from others, then take a moment to take shame away from another person. It will make you honorable and feel shameless. Now I am an Argentine Tango dancer. And it all start with one step. Hoping you are toe-tap expert today !!!
Can you own a jingle dress if you aren’t on the Rez? I’m a city native but I want to participate in this so bad! I would love to dance for my ancestors but alone if that’s okay? 😂❤️
I'd like to ask a question, or rather two, if I may: When choosing your gorgeous, colouful powwow dresses / clothes, what is your main focus? Do you 'just' go by personal taste, when it comes to the colours you chose? Do sustainability and eco-friendliness / tradition play a role in the choice of the fabrics you're using?
Love this, so helpful! I'm having my regalia made, never danced Jingle but I keep dreaming about so I'm going to make it happen. I have questions about the steps, when to raise your fan and the DOS/don'ts. Do you do private lessons lol? I'm in Spokane, not far from Cda!
Oooo¡¡que padree!!is genial idea!!!conocemos y ejercitamos cuerpo mente espirit!!i send you cogratoulation for you and a grat culture!!por los pueblos originario!!!!🤗🤗
Hi! I'm a PE and Social Studies teacher at a center for immigrant girls from Central America. Most of my girls are Indigenous themselves and I'm Asian Indian American. We've been learning a little bit about the Native cultures in the Midwest -- especially the origin of the Jingle Dance and it's connection to the present day pandemic with the Jingle Art Project. I'm wondering if it would be appropriate to use your fitness videos in PE class? I also want to show them that they can stay connected to their own Indigenous roots while living here in the US.
I'm a fancy dancer in the process of making my traditional and jingle dress so this is going to be so helpful once I get everything done for powwow season :)
Ya'a'teeh - and Ahe' hee......the powwow sweat videos are so awesome and motivating to me....please make more. I am learning Navajo ( dine bizaad) and wif you know would love to learn more with some help. I need a tutor - if you know someone please contact me. I want to save the Navajo language.
I am a Native American and I want to learn how to juggle dress I am learning from my mom. my name is Amanda a lot of people spell my name A m a n d a. but I am so good at jingle dressing that I can put my regalia on by myself and my mom does not have to help me accept when she's doing my hair. I am so thankful for being a Native American and my friends think it's cool too. I hope you do I think it is cool. and people's regalia's are beautiful and that is why I'm a jingle dresser. and I love being a Native American. and I love being single dresser. sad by Amanda Pearce.
Just asking cause I dance and I can’t really learn, from anyone is there a right way to hold a fan or a specific way to wave a fan or move feet and stuff like that??? and side step same thing specific things with the fan? Or feet or anything any knowledge would be greatly appreciated
Every time I hear the drums and music and see the dancing my heart races and I'm filled with emotion like I want to weep. Gramma tells me it's my blood, my ancestors.
I’m a registered native as of today, and I went to a powwow, which really made me want to learn this. I love the music, and the dancing.
That's odd, I started to weep, too. I regained my composure quickly, but I felt a deep emotion, as well. Time to do some Ancestry Research.
Me too.
God bless you on your journey in life.
I think it's the inheritance because I feel the same exact way and I am told by my dad that my great great grandpa was pure cherokee
I love the way the editing intersperses seamlessly the women in full regalia executing this powerful female cultural treasure! And the drumming and singing are an inspiration!
Ni
Me too!
Thank You!
The jingle dresses are so beautiful just like the natives people ❤

Stay fit! Stay strong! Stay Native!

Wonderful. I love the slogan, the music and the costumes.
This looks like so much fun! I went to a pow wow last year in Georgia and this was one of my favorite dances to watch! Thank you for sharing. 👍🏾❤️
Thank you I never had the chance to learn my mother passed away before I could be taught. Thank you my sisters! A'HO
awesome I love to hear the drums and hear the singing and see the dancing that goes threw my native American blood thank you very much❤😆
Who's here due to Google Doodles? HaHa Very cool!! Love anything and everything Native American, thank you.
This is amazing! I came here looking for info and a sound bite for a Jingle Dress, I stayed for the exercise!

At 2:33 that is a creative shot. I like it a lot.
What are the words in the song??

Wao, lilttle world. In my country Cameroon, the pygmies in my village sing almost like that for their traditional dance🥰🥰🥰
Good to meet a sister Cameroonian who is also mad about Pow wow!
Very cool, especially when the video changes from modern exercise apparel to the old fashion formal attire.
As an American Indian woman in my 60's - I am very proud of these girls and their representation of our heritage! I'll be dancing with you today (here in my yard in southern Colorado). Let's bring rain! Beautiful and thank you!
I'm so glad I found this. You all are amazing and I love the glimpses of your regalia. The production value and humor are nice too.
I'm a jingle dress dancer and I love this! Great way to get in shape for the powwow season. Thanks so much and keep it up ^_^ Nuktala-ho!

#dropthepringlesandletsjingle
Hi +Yenawa! That's so great!!! Let us know how it goes at the Powwow! :)
i will :D
I practice dancing jingle but other kids laugh at me but I practice but the toe-tap is kinda difficult for me still but I'm still learning the toe-tap
Tip on the toe tap don't look down don't worry on breathing heavily😂 also when you do the toe tap you put all of your weight on one leg and switch your feet side to side and repeat
Reason why I know Is because I've been dancing all my life from when I was two months old to right now I'm 13💜💜
I am of the white nation, and if you had been dancing when I was a kid, I'd have joined you.

Beautiful Dance !!! 🌹🌸💐🌺🌼🌻
Dancing tonight, and watching this, life's good
I'm dance ing this summer for the first time since I was 3 so these steps will be use full thanks for this video lots of love❤️❤️❤️
I'd like to ask a question, or rather two, if I may: When choosing your gorgeous, colouful powwow dresses / clothes, what is your main focus? Do you 'just' go by personal taste, when it comes to the colours you chose? Do sustainability and eco-friendliness / tradition play a role in the choice of the fabrics you're using?
The colours are personal. Women's traditional should be animal hide but most other dances use whatever fabric the person wants.
This is awesome!!
Love this, so helpful! I'm having my regalia made, never danced Jingle but I keep dreaming about so I'm going to make it happen. I have questions about the steps, when to raise your fan and the DOS/don'ts. Do you do private lessons lol? I'm in Spokane, not far from Cda!
You raise your fan to accent drum hits (when they get louder and harder and more space in between )
Thank you, you make it look easy
Thank you 😁 loved it ❣️
thank you for giving me a lot more moves because I just started moving on from fancy to jingle
Amazing! This will be my cardio alternative to running. GREAT JOB! I will be sharing this on Facebook page, "Navajo in the City". Please join us!
