Title

The title "Fancy Dance" seems misleading. It implies that this "style" of dance is beyond or better then other "traditional" dances, especially as it follows freestyle in form with all the emphasis in costuming. It also doesn't help with the fact that a Wikipedia article with this title will bias the search engines to regard fancy dance as this. In my honest, humble little opinion, I think it would be better to subdivide the page, and use the longer names of the "dances" for the men's and women's "fancy dance," Native American Fancy Shawl Dance and Native American Fancy Warriors Dance. But that's just my two cents. EDIT: or postfix it for context. like Fancy_Dance(Native_American)Kuriosly (talk) 03:41, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's what it's called where it's done. Got some sources for your assertion? The powwows I've been to recently (admittedly, only one or two a year) seem to still say "Fancy dance"; at least the announcers do. Up for change if it's sourced, got some sources??

Untitled

I added some material to this page, but in general, I think I see two things going on and maybe this requires a bit of additional input. Fancy Dance, which this page is about, is one of several categories of, as far as I can tell - I'm new to this - competitive Pow Wow dancing. Other categories include grass dance, jingle dance, men's northern and southern traditional dances, women's traditional dance. There are other regional and tribal dances as well.

The big Pow Wows in the Pow Wow circuit are in a big way, formal competitive dance arenas, but this isn't really reflected in the way Native American Dance is set up in wikipedia. I don't know how to beging to help fix that though, or if it needs fixing but maybe others can show me how. Joemann

Adding information about the fancy dance

I am currently working on a project and did some research on The Fancy Dance. I would like to add more information about the types of dances, what they wear in more detail, and more of how competitive it is. SHAE2019 (talk) 14:16, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
