Powwow 101

What it is, its importance to Indigenous People, stories of each style and teachings of how to practice the dances with respect and integrity. The session will begin with a smudge ceremony to cleanse the space and get started in a good way. Then we will move on to an aerobic-type warm up and learn some basic footwork appropriate for all genders. Please wear clothes you can move in.
