That right there is a display of agility and hand/eye coordination that I don't imagine too many people in the world could ever match.

You are quite correct Jack. It takes a lot of practice to be able to do that.

That goes beyond just practice...
I've been hitting nails with hammers for 24 years and I still manage to hit my thumb.

Hoop dancers I think most of them start as children then as they progress work their way up the rankings at the pow wows.

So, not to be a buzz kill, but...
Culture is rooted on how people make a living. Supposedly, the Innuit had almost two dozen words for "snow" that would tell them how far, how fast, and with what kind of effort could be traveled by dog sled. But once you have snowmobiles, those words lose their relevance.
Same thing with being a tracker and Hunter: in a big city, car repair is a more useful skill.
Once upon a time, when people lived by farming, the hoedown (literally, you put your hoes down) pulled small communities together and gave respite from unending toil.
It's like blacks carrying over their resentment from past slavery: it does no good in today's society.
The fact is that we live in a modern financialist society, and except for sentimental attachment to cultural remnants, they are vestiges of a long-ago past.
At one time, this meant a lot to my dad:
BTW I believe we should keep the old skills alive, as the Japanese do.
We may need them someday. But the songs, dances, and food are unmoored without the production and society to anchor them.
You need to keep far more "alive" than demonstration dances in order to stay relevant.
