rabbit dance
North American
noun
A North American Indian dance in which women choose their partners and couples move in a circular formation while holding hands.
- Many theories are proposed as to the reason for this name, but none of them is supported by reliable historical evidence. Perhaps the most plausible is that it relates to the bouncing movement of the dancers..
