How does a girl that likes you slow dance with you?
1.Find someone to dance with. You can't slow dance alone, at least not without looking, well, slow. If you brought a date, you'll probably want to ask him or her to dance. If not, find a partner. Set the mood by looking that person in the eyes when you ask him or her to dance.
2.Get your partner on the dance floor. Escort your partner to the dance floor slowly and smoothly. If you're already on the dance floor, the key here may be to keep yourself and your partner on the dance floor--no easy task if one or both of you is nervous about slow dances. If your partner is nervous, tell him or her that there's nothing to worry about, and be understanding if he or she doesn't want to dance. If you're nervous, don't show it.
3.Assume the position. Face your partner, standing so that your head is about a foot or two away from his or hers. Standing toe-to-toe may not be the optimal position. Some couples stand offset, with each person's right foot inside the other persons pair; some partners may have the woman's feet to the inside of the man's. If you are a teen you can always place both hands on the girl's hip (if you're a man.) and if you are a girl place both arms around his neck.
4.Assess your relationship with your partner. You need to know where to put your hands and how close to dance. This doesn't need to be awkward. Keep in mind that the right-hand-left-hand directions here can be reversed if you are both more comfortable that way.
- To be safe the man should put his right hand on his partner's left hip (the side of the hip, Romeo) and his left hand should gently grasp his partner's right hand and hold it up at about shoulder-level (of the taller partner) so that both partners' arms are bent upward from the elbow. The woman's left arm will generally be placed on her partner's shoulder. This is a traditional ballroom dancing position (as well as a safe junior high dancing position), and you should still be standing about a foot from your partner.
- If you're closer with your partner, very much in love or something like that, the man should gently pull the woman close to him and either put his right hand on her hip as above, or place it on the small of her back. The left hand may hold her hand as above or, for a very close dance, may be placed on her upper back. If at any time the woman pulls away or seems uncomfortable with how the man is holding her, he should step back and revert to the safe position. The woman may also initiate the closer dance position with the same caveat that if her partner feels uncomfortable she should revert to the position above. Either partner may also bring the other closer by clasping their hands - ladies behind his neck, men behind her waist.
6.Follow the music. Your steps should move roughly in time to the beat of the music so that you make a step every beat or so. This is not as hard as it might sound since the music will most likely be slow during a slow dance.
7.Interact with your partner. For most of us, a slow dance is more about being close to your partner and getting to know each other than it is about moving. Feel free to talk to your partner, to look into his or her eyes and, if the situation is appropriate, to steal a kiss or two. If you're both in a romantic mood, you may draw each other closer as the dance progresses.
8.Thank your partner for the dance. Whether you're dancing with your wife of 60 years or someone you've never met before, thank your partner. You won't lead someone on with a simple "Thanks for the dance."
9.Continue to the next dance or retreat gracefully. Once you're comfortable with slow dances, you might not want to flee the floor as quickly as possible--one dance is just the beginning. If, however, you've had enough dancing for the moment, retreat from the dance floor. Ladies, if you have to go find your girl friends and squeal about the cute guy you just danced with, go do it. Guys, if you need to go brag about the cute girl you just danced with, do it. Offer to escort your partner to his or her table or wherever they want to go, or ask him or her if they would like to retreat if you want to do so. Keep in mind, however, that retreating may also be used to find a place of relief from someone who may want to dance with you again, but with whom you don't want another dance.

What were the changes in Indian dance during the 20century?
19th century:As a passive resistance and in mourning the ghost dance was developed around the time of the trail of tears.
20th century: Probably the most notable development in native American dance was the "fancy dance". The "mens fancy dance" was developed by the lakota peoples in the 1940's and based in part on previous war dances. The The fancy dance is a flashy and athletic dance requiring stamina, endurance, dexterity, and a high pain threshold. The mens fancy dancer wears back bustles, one across the shoulders and one on the waist.
Angora anklets are worn to bring sheer footedness in the fast paced dance, above then bells. A breechcloth with fringe, designs and beadwork is worn with a matching apron/vest. When weather permits long sleeve decorative shirts are oten worn under the vest. Smaller arm bustles are worn high on the arm and gauntlets, sometimes beaded around the wrists. beaded headbands are typical and a headpiece called a roach is worn. The roach resembles a mohawk and is made of deer hair and porcupine hair.
The mens fancy was originally called the crazy dance and is a major display of showmanship. Regalia is constantly being taken to the next level in a desire to stand out in some way amongst a crowd at a powwow. Fancy dance footwork originally resembeled the Charleston but also incorporates freeform elements including spins, splits, cartwheels, etc. The better the dancer, the more technical moves they are able to execute while staying with the beat of the drum. I cannot stress enough how demanding the fancy dance is on the body. I once did a strattle split so hard on a stage that I fractured my knee.
Powwow style fancy dance songs are typically very fast and will mix the rythm of a 2 step beat that is soft then hard, falsetto singing, and strings of singular hard beats to which special moves are executed. Variations may include fast ruffle beats which encourage flourishes of energy packed exploits.
There is also a womens fancy shawl dance in which women with highly decorated shawls dance with footword which can rival that of mens fancy dance but womens fancy shawl dancers also work to keep their shawls taught and flowing evenly and beautifully.
