Native American Events: Pow Wows Feature Native American Dance<\/h2>\n

What is a Native American Pow Wow?<\/h3>\n

Powwows are American Indian events that feature, among other things, Native American dance and song. They are a celebration of heritage and traditions, and a way for Native Americans to connect with each other while keeping their culture alive through dance, song and storytelling. Most powwows are open to the public, offering opportunities to educate non-natives about their culture and traditions, including many different styles of Native American dance styles. While powwows occur year-round, most are held between Memorial Day and Labor Day throughout the US and Canada. They are an important part of Native American life and lots of fun for all who attend. For a list of Native American events, see our Native American Dance Calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Women’s Fancy Shawl Dance :: Fast Paced Native American Dance Style<\/h3>\n

The Women’s Fancy Shawl Dance is a beautiful and very strenuous Native American dance style typically performed by younger ladies and girls at Native American events. It is a fast dance that requires stamina and gracefulness, along with intricate footwork. Each dancer wears a fancy shawl decorated with colorful designs made of appliqu\u00c3\u00a9, ribbons and painting. The shawl has long fringe or ribbons that flow with the movements of the dancer. Fancy Shawl Dancers create the illusion of a butterfly floating through the air by dancing light on their feet and twirling around with their shawl extended like butterfly wings.<\/p>\n

Women’s Fancy Shawl Regalia<\/h3>\n

Women’s Fancy Shawl regalia, like that of other Native American dance styles, accentuates the movement of the dancer. This dance outfit includes: a dress or skirt, leggings, moccasins, and , of course, a beautifully decorated fancy shawl. The shawl is worn draped over the shoulders and is usually made of colorful lightweight fabric. It is decorated with appliqu\u00e9s, paint, and ribbons in a way that has meaning to the dancer. The dress or skirt and leggings can either be plain or decorated, but they are made of fabric and colors that coordinate with the fancy shawl.<\/p>\n
