QUOTE : All of these dancers. Imagine that each one is an atom, forming molecules of dancers fore each category: Traditional, Fancy, Grass, Jingle. You see the whole identity... Now focus on just one dancer-say, a Jingle Dress dancer...Every atom has subatomic parts. Her regalia includes a dress, belt, moccasins, and a lot of other items. Dancers don't start out with their full regalia; they get it bit by bit. Each piece is a connection to her family, her teachers, and even to ancestors generations back. If you know the story of her regalia-who and where and why each item came to be-then you know her.
