LARRY YAZZIE'S ENTHRALLING DANCE FORM
CONNECTS NWSA DANCE STUDENTS TO MOTHER EARTH
"Through my dancing and singing, I experience a zone of free spirit, where everyday problems and worries are left behind. As a performer, it makes me feel good to share this positive energy with other people"
Larry Yazzie
Each year NWSA seeks to expose students to different art forms from across the globe, as part of the World Dance Program. However, this year we did not have to go too far to find our world dancer, Larry Yazzie. The long tradition of American Indian dance, along with its spirit and connection to nature make it a very interesting and beautiful dance form. Through this program, students learn that dance is more than entertainment... in some cultures it is a spiritual act which forges a special connection to the mother earth.
Daniel Lewis
Dean of Dance
Larry Yazzie (Meskwaki/Dine) is an International Lecturer, Educator, Performer, and a World Champion Fancy Dancer. Raised on the Meskwaki Indian Settlement in Central Iowa, he began dancing at the age of seven. Throughout his childhood Larry was instructed on the traditions of the Meskwaki people, including the flamboyant and energetic fancy dance and the northern Plains style of singing.
