The stomp dance was and is the primary dance among traditional Cherokees and other southeastern tribes. It is done around the sacred fire, with a male song leader and female shell shakers. Normally only the men sing. The songs are ancient 'call and answer' songs. Unlike modern powwow dances, the stomp dance is done counter-clockwise and can go on all night.
