Fancy dance
Fancy dance or pan-Indian dancing is a style of dance originally created by members of the Lakota peoples around the turn of the 20th Century in an attempt to preserve their culture and religion at a time when practicing it was largely illegal. It is loosely based on the sacred Sun dance and War dance.
