The slide or shuffle Dance is done to a double beat. Sometimes it is changed to a staggered beat and referred to as the Crow Hop, done by hopping to noticeably solid beats. Soldier Dances were developed after World War I to honour Veterans. The beat is similar to the Round dance, but is slower as time is kept to every other beat. The Stomp Dance begins in a kneeling position as if scouting for an enemy, followed by a burst of dancing.
Dancers move forward to symbolize non-retreating.
Religious in nature, it evolved from warrior society dances. It portrays a warrior in search of a proper ceremonial place. The dancer moves in imitation of tall swaying prairie grass. Dreams or visions were the basis of the Jingle Dress dance. The dress for this dance is fashioned with such items as small hawk bells, shells, or sewing thimbles to give it sound.
