Indigenous Enterprised performed on the NBC tv show World of Dance this week. The group was critiqued by judges Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough and Ne-Yo.
Their performance included Grass dancer, Hoop dancer, Fancy dancer, and a Chicken dancer. Their high energy routine impressed the judges.
Ultimately the judges did not advance the group further in the competition.
The performance, in my opinion, was a huge success, however. Millions of people have now been exposed to Pow Wow culture – even if just for a couple of minutes. I hope that this will inspire more people to come out to their local Pow Wows to find out more about our culture.
