Butterfly Dance At Mishongnovi.

Our granddaughter danced at Mishongnovi this past weekend. Very beautiful dance.

Its good to see the young people dancing and keeping their traditions. With the outside world changing so fast. Its good that the ceremonies and traditions are being held and carried on by the younger generation.

Shakers, chants, and slow motion running. You can't get more sophisticated than this. (or least they can't) I do like their clown outfits though.

Is it illegal to film these dances?

[@hirai_aiden]

@@yobenally1073 these ones are ones that you can only record

[@stellaanderson9845]

No but Katsina, Snake , and Flutes dances can’t be filmed or sketched.

[@MrKmoconne]

This is a social dance so it's open to outsiders.

Explain the purpose of this dance?? Social dance??

[@MrKmoconne]

Get to know your neighbors. Exchange email addresses. See relatives you have not talked with in a long time. There is a story being told here so this is an opportunity to pass the story on to the next generation.

@@MrKmoconne I am not a Hopi tribal member. I was only interested in the dance, if it's a ceremonial if so why or just a social dance ??
