Answer to Question 1

The men's dance styles are: Traditional, Grass, and Fancy Dance
The women's dance styles are: Traditional, Jingle Dress, and Fancy Shawl Dance.

Answer to Question 2

It is a triple-meter beat which is a defining feature of all Round Dance songs.
Round Dance songs are used to accompany a variety of dances at powwows, including the Women's Traditional and a variety of social couples dances.
Round Dance songs also often feature a mix of vocables and English-language texts. (Often humorous and mildly erotic.)
The use of the word thuggin' is evidence of the influence of hip-hop culture.
