Best Answer

The butterfly dance is a two day social dance ceremony for young people that takes place in the late summer or early fall. It takes place when a family or person sponsors it. 32 songs are learned and sung over the two days. It starts at sunrise. There is a good kids book called "The Butterfly Dance" by Gerald Dawavendewa that describes it. If you get invited, you can go, they take place every year. In the link there is a YouTube video of one from Sept 2009.
