Some people from the tribe would be so filled with the "spirit" that they would fall on the ground from being in a trance. Of course, they original prophet that brought the religion to them did not teach the dance this way and taught it completely differently, but because the dance has been interpreted in so many different ways, the original way is not known (and in fact, the whole religion was interpreted differently by the Sioux).

How do you become a better sprinter?

Before training or competing, you must take the body from a resting state to a working state. Jog at least two laps, then stretch. No matter how much stretching you do, it is important that you hold your stretches. Don't bounce.

The placement of the blocks can be critical to a quick start. Some sprinters stagger the blocks too far apart or too close together thus losing power with an inefficient push-off. Every runner is different. Block placement may have more to do with the length of one's calf. Repeated experimentation with timing over 20 meters should determine the best stagger position.

Pique means "to prick". There are different kinds.

At the barre they are used, like little quick taps of the tip of the toe with a fully extended and pointed leg. The accent is up, much like pricking someone with a pin. It's not a stab, but a quick tap.

In center they can be used differently. Pique turns, difficult to describe, but you push/slightly jump to an extended leg, to the ball of the foot or pointe, and turn.
