DANCE COMPETITIONS

Three Days of Color and Excitement (Newly Expanded!)

For hundreds of years, the many tribes of Native Americans have expressed their cultural diversity through dance. The beauty, artistry and athleticism are demonstrated in the dance competition.

Various styles and dress demonstrate ancient rituals, traditions and spirituality.

At the Coushatta Pow Wow dancers compete for thousands of dollars of prize money. See cultural demonstrations and ceremonial tributes. All in the comfort of our 3,600 seat-climate-controlled pavilion! Read more information about the traditional dances and customs.
