Our celebration of Chickasaw Annual Meeting and Festival continues with a closer look at an important aspect of Chickasaw culture. Chickasaw Nation Cultural Resources Manager Jason Eyachabbe and Chickasaw Nation Cultural Activities Manager Dixie Brewer are here to explore the history, traditions and cultural significance of stomp dancing. #ChickasawFestival #ChickasawAnnualMeeting | The Chickasaw Nation

Throughout the summer, The Chickasaw Nation offers stomp dance classes at Its Community Centers in Ada, Ardmore, and Tishomingo. "We've already lost so much of our culture, and this is something that we can't lose," Brewer explained. | KTEN

💃 STOMP! STOMP! STOMP! Imagine a dance so simple it could be learnt in minutes and so popular it became a craze. It was called The Stomp and it was pounded out in surf clubs and council halls around Australia's coast. The so called "weird, undignified" dance move was banned in two Australian councils, who feared it could render some buildings unsafe.! Watch and listen as teenagers express their enthusiasm for the Stomp. 🎥 ABC NEWS | I Grew Up in Mortdale 2223
