I got great seats right up front and was not disappointed . I was happy to see that I recognized many of the dancers from my first pow wow so I kind of knew who to keep an eye out for . My favorite dancer was there but I was disappointed that he did n't participate in the grass dance , he danced the men 's traditional . I like the men 's grass dance the best , they really get down !

Question: Why did they want to sit up front ?
Answer: So they could get picked for audience participation .So they can record the event .So they could see everything .So they can try to pick up the guys .
