Had a great time last week teaching at the VSB Indigenous focus pro-d day. I taught my Powwow 101 workshop, where I share the stories I was taught about the different dance styles, some basic dance moves and my regalia
I started facilitating powwow workshops/classes at least 15 years ago. And I’m still learning!
I’m working on a few different types of powwow dance workshops, some are show & tell where some are dance focused and by tailored for all ages.
I like teaching, keeps me in shape too!

Last Class of Powwow Bootcamp happened on April 6th, which was Easter Monday.
It was a fun series! I’ve been running this series since 2011 and it felt real good to do a dance work out.
So let me know in the comments when time are next series should be?
On a Saturday or on Weekday evening?
