As
with drumming and singing, dance is a true and traditional form of
ceremony. Our teachers do not dance in Pow Wow settings and, therefore,
participate only in the spiritual dance ceremonies. These ceremonies
are never demonstrated but are open to discussion and teachings.
Kam Lau has recently closed his family’s Sun Dance, where he
was chief, and is currently conducting a different dance. He would
be happy to discuss these dances in a lecture format and would be
open to questions.
If your workshop has other teachers that teach other forms of dance
this is most welcome. As with Drum Circles, this is not a criticism,
only a matter of personal belief and dedication. It has been coined
that you can’t be a jack-of-all-trades and master of none, we
have chosen to go beyond the more social aspects of some teaching
but enjoy and welcome alternative approaches if they are being offered
during the same workshop.
