Photo Gallery Three:  Native American Ceremonial Dance Demonstration at Heard Museum

 

The Heard Museum has several special demonstrations during the holiday season. I got to see Native American dancers.

There's an opportunity to get up-close with the dancers after the demo.

Eagle Dance

Pony Dance

Spirit Dance

Hoop Dance...

performed by the national champion hoop dancer.

Amazing how he manuvered those hoops...

moving in and out of them, even.

Call it and it returns to you.

The costumes are authentic, made by the dancers themselves.

Of course, now they don't have to carve bone for the beads.

Walmart has all the beads they need these days.
