Fancy Dance Songs - Black Lodge Singers

Fancy Dance Music | Pow Wow

The fancy dance itself requires high stepping, twirling movements. Shawl dancers represent the butterfly, which is why the dancer is supposed to move her arms with her shawl draped over them in movements representative of the fluttering of a butterfly. Traditions in the west say that the women’s shawl dancers are similar to the men’s grass dancers in that they represent a warrior’s dance. The reason that the women were given the right to dance a war dance is because long ago the women used to be runners who ran from the village to village warning of danger, which in return earned them the title of “warrior”. Women’s shawl dancers regalia consist of outfits made of colourful fabric and ribbons, often adorned with bead or sequin work.
