At the Dallas Chamber of Commerce Native American Expo
(December 2011), we watched a special demonstration of traditional Choctaw
dances.

From powwows to on stage, I’ve seen many cultural dances of
the Americas. They all have their unique flare, a story they tell.
Not to sound prejudice, but few had the qualities of
traditional Choctaw dance.
As the traditionally dressed Choctaw men and women
interacted in the dance, all their movements and steps could be described as sweet,
innocent, fun. It was a social affair kept in the boundaries of pure enjoyment.
