Five forms of Comanche dance, #4: Ladies Buckskin Dance. Ladies Buckskin dancing is slow and poised yet bold and proud, with the dancers' feet barely touching the ground. Circling the drum, the dancers step to the beat of the drum, permitting the long leather fringe on their sleeves to sway in time. The dancers sway and slightly bend at the knees. These movements are very subtle and cause the dancer's fringe to move in a breezy motion. | Comanche National Museum and Cultural Center

The Straight Dance, sometimes referred to as the "Gentleman's Dance", is the formal and original dance of most Oklahoma Indian Tribes. It is an expression of remembered history. This dance has a story line which includes a realistic search for prey and a symbolic "whoop" upon its discovery. | Comanche National Museum and Cultural Center | Facebook
