Indian Pueblo Cultural Center’s Cultural Dance Program
Why We Dance
Since time immemorial, Pueblo communities have celebrated seasonal cycles through prayer, song, and dance. These dances connect us to our ancestors, community, and traditions while honoring gifts from our Creator. They ensure that life continues, and that connections to the past and future are reinforced.
Under normal circumstances, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center is the only place in North America to offer Native American dances every week year-round—showcasing dance groups from the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico, as well as Plains Style, Navajo, Apache, and Hopi dancers. We look forward to the day when we can reopen our doors and invite you to experience Native American dances in our mural-lined courtyard.
