I looked it up and I found that the Arapaho traditionally danced the 'Sun Dance'.
Wikipedia's definition of the Arapaho Sun Dance is:
'The Arapaho Sun Dance, performed in the summer when the Arapaho bands come together for the occasion, is a ceremony performed in order to guide warriors on a Vision_(religion), receiving a guardian spirit. The vision is inspired by intense self-torture.'
I'm not sure if this is what you wanted but I hope it helps.
The Arapaho Indians are traditionally from the Great Plains region of North America, primarily in what is now Wyoming, Colorado, and Nebraska. Historically, they inhabited areas along the Arkansas River and the North Platte River. The Arapaho were known as nomadic hunters, relying heavily on buffalo for sustenance. Today, many Arapaho people are part of the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming and the Northern Arapaho Tribe in Colorado.
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.

The Rabbit Dance is a social, and humorous dance of the Northern Arapaho Tribe. It was learned from the Cree Indians in about 1920. The dance similarly resembles a White American folk dance or "square dance." The steps in the dance are in accordance with a "calling" by one of the drummers. Men and women dance in couples side by side, and women choose their dance partner. Today, the Rabbit Dance is not practiced due to the popularity of other pan-Indian social dances such as the Pow-wow.your welcome =]
