I gotta tell you something, having done a lot of dancing in my time, sometimes for hours on end, what they're doing is very hard on their feet, toes, ankles, thighs and calves at the very least. They must be very strong. And look how straight their backs are. Amazing.
I practiced with my daughter last year and not having danced for a few years my calves hurt for the next few days after. Those girl dancers are strong with lots of energy.
There are both beautiful dancers and I agree - this dance should not be a contest as it is a healing dance and a ceremony. Both women are graceful and wonderful.
Many years ago I was a a dancer and I know I had to practice for what I did these women who do the jingle dancing put hours of practice into their art and they are all wonderful to watch I am filled with pride every time I watch them
@Cali sunshine .. have some got damn respect.. you don't know how much practice it take to be a great jingle dress dancer like Acosia & Lacy. i bet you wouldn't even last a couple seconds. so if you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all
I think I'm officially watching this every day now. Red Elk is my favorite dancer of this genre, to the point I want her autograph. Her kids must be so proud to have her as their mother.

I been dancing ever since I was 7 years old and it’s true. It’s hard. Especially jingle dress. I want to try again but something is telling me no. If I would start again? I would be graceful jingle dress dancer like Acosia.
I have noticed this same two woman in other videos I am sure. The Thunder of their Style of Dance , Their Posture, Power, Grace, Pride and Beauty speak louder than any words could ever say. They are both Truly Majestic and Beautiful. I refuse to try to understand how anyone could attempt to make a contest on such Magnificent Artist. It seems to me to be entirely shameful, disrespectful and cheapens the entire efforts and respect of such truly great and wonderful Dancers. Such Contest are unworthy of these Great Artist. High Art does not lend or lower itself to Contest. These Contest should be Stopped , it is unworthy and wrong.
As a judge and being a jingler myself based on watching these two dancers yes they are both really good in their dance styles.. both have same amount of jingles and have full beadwork... but I would give it to acosia because if you watch her dancing in the straight song she has constant footwork and fluid and complex footwork.. don't hate on styles because I guarantee that if you rocked footwork like that and you was placing as a champ, why change something that ain't broke!!
+Cali sunshine L.A. killed it like literaly giving drown's kicks? "lo mató" con "patadas de ahogado" dicen en mi pueblo... :') Acosia moves are in control: that's years of constant discipline darling, no kiddin'
Jingle is suppose to be danced with grace for it is a healing dress. Judging by what I'm seeing, yes they're both good dancers, but if you watch the sidestep, the young lady in the red throws her fan around ungracefully. Acosia moves with so much strength and grace. They're both good dancers though, don't get me wrong.
