What are some American Indian dance styles that are slower?

Question

I'm looking for styles that are slower and more flowing than jingle dress and fancy shawl.

Answer 1

Check out powwows.com for info on many different types of pow wow dance styles.  Womens Traditional is more modest in movement than both jingle and fancy shawl.

Answer 2

There's the traditional fringe dance where you are carrying the shawl, a fan, or a bag and the movement is in the fringe of your shawl or the feather in your hand. Very graceful dance.

The dance can be done standing in place and bobbing to the beat of the drum and bowing on the hard beat of the drum . Or you can circle with this style in the powwow circle.

I love this dance and sometimes find myself doing it in the stands. Just the bobbing of course.

I have a very small part of Native American blood in me, but I have prided myself in learning over the years, more about the culture. I hope you enjoy learning the dances. The following clip from YouTube has a small portion of this type of dance in it. As you will see many types in the entering in of the tribes.
