This fancy footwork reminds me of Irish set dancing. I'd love to see this group tour the UK. Any chance of you getting the Canadian High Commission in London to sponsor you?
I would love to know more about this. How old is this tradition? Is it competitive or for exhibition only? These steps are distinct from other styles in Canada and the United States, so I'm curious how they developed. Can you tell me more about it? Are you a member of this community?
It was from colonization.We were not allowed to powwow by our government..thats why our steps are low and fast...but thats just what i heard through stories..but powwow got and is stronger and ever...
Yvon Dumont thank you for the information. I’m ashamed knowing that you have added so much value to square dancing this way, and my European ancestors cannot claim the same.

Very fine dancing. I love the delicate tapping sound as the dancers' feet add percussion to the fiddle music.
impressive
aren't these the Asham Stompers? or Four Nations Square Dancers... they go by a few didn't names...
There is another video from 2013 performance, this seems a year or so later.
Bravo
I'd love to know more about this. Are these members of the Cree nation in Quebec?
+David Harvey No. They are from Ebb & Flow and Waywayseecapo first nations in Manitoba,

This is not really square dancing. It's clogging
