Fancy Shawl

The Fancy Shawl Dance is a lively dance style performed at Native American gatherings, including  the Northern Cheyenne tribe. Dancers wear colorful outfits with a fringed shawl and perform quick footwork, spins, and twirls. The dance symbolizes the transformation of a butterfly, and the music is upbeat. It’s a way to preserve culture and celebrate life, and it’s open to women and girls of all ages.
