Everyone is welcome to dance an intertribal dance - even spectators! It's not as much a particular type of dance as it is a chance for everyone to dance. Intertribal dancers move around the arbor sun-wise (clockwise) and everyone is welcome to take part. You don't even need to be in regalia; you can dance in your street clothes. The basic step is the same one used by traditional dancers: the ball of one foot is tapped on one beat and placed down flatly with the next, repeating the action on the opposite foot without missing a beat.
The master of ceremonies announces the dances and is the one who decides who is allowed to dance and when. There is a head man or head woman in the dance and they start the dancing. Others follow their lead. The dance circle is always entered and exited through a designated spot on the east side of the circle. Some articles have a religious meaning and should only be worn or carried by qualified individuals.
