A distinction has to be made between historic (meaning 19th century and earlier) dances and rituals and modern (meaning reservation era and afterwards) dances.
Historic dances included the winter Guardian Spirit Dance, which was a ritual mainly for young men who had recently received a sacred vision and an associated protector spirit. The Prophet Dance was an unusual ritual where a circle of dancers was led by a medicine man who reached a trance-like state in which he could see the future. There were also war dances, honour (praise) dances, owl or round dances, prairie chicken dances, victory song dances and women's dances.
Since the reservation era the Nez Perce have also adopted many "powwow" dances from other tribes - grass dance, jingle dance and so on.
