Editorial Reviews

Whispering Wind Magazine, Jan. 1995
Native American ... Dance Styles - Vol. 1 approaches its subjects in a definite, educational manner ... featuring a variety of dancers in their respective categories with voice over explanations of each dance style and what to watch for in competition. Highlighting each style are champion dancers and slow motion sequences so the viewer can get a good grasp on the intricate foot and body movements. The production quality is excellent and it is obvious that the producers wanted to deliver a good product... This tape helps fill the void and is the best tape on the specific subject it covers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nicely done video, August 12, 2000

By A Customer

This video is a good one to purchase if you are curious about pow wow dancing or wish to see what other dancers are doing. Also, you get to check out the dance clothes of others and see other styles. It is a good length (60 minutes) and the narration is nice. I would recommend it, but be sure to use it as a guide only, and listen to what your friends and family say regarding dancing also.

3.0 out of 5 stars So-So tutroial, January 11, 2007

By	T. Littlebear "WldWcnWmn" (Western Sky - Defying Gravity) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is just a so-so tutorial, the regalia is nice to look at. I was bummed I bought this when I found out our local tribe had it to borrow in their library, but it's interesting if you're too far away from the next PowWow and you need a "fix"
