Young Fancy Dancer

This youngster was a "fancy dancer" last year at the Cortez Cultural Center.  Those feathers bounce and flow as they dance, it is quite a treat to see.

  2. Great job, Susan! I would guess this is a southern Ute ceremonial costume? Must have been fun to watch.

  3. Thanks Casey and Sonya.

    Casey, that "Mondrian style" painting you had on your easel was pretty exciting to me!

    Sonya, Good call. I started to put Southern Ute but I wasn't sure if Ute Mountain Ute would be more proper, I'll have to find out.
