80% of This; 20% of That

I love love love jingle dress.  Jingle dress is a style of dance seen at powwows.  Jingle dresses actually  have little tin cones on them that sound kind of like rain when they move.  With the right footwork, the cones hit perfectly in time with the drum.  Sorta pretty.

So I was thinking: Jingle dress dancing is 80% footwork and 20% armwork.  Hoop dance is the opposite.  It's 20% footwork and 80% armwork.  It is different than what I'm used to but I do like a challenge. :)
