The 1980's saw a revival of this traditional style of dance from the central plains of Canada. Today it has become a regular dance event at pow wows across North America. The outfit of the dancer varies widely but most often it includes a feather bustle fastened around the dancers hips and a porcupine hair roach. Fans, dance sticks, hoops, rattles, and some animal pelts are also regularly worn as part of the chicken dancer's regalia. Like all pow wow dances, the prairie chicken style varies widely across different tribes and according to the tastes of the individual dancer. Traditionally, the dance is a simulation of the courtship dance of the prairie chicken. It is a full body dance that incorporates the head, shoulders, arms, hips, and legs. But good chicken dancing is also about attitude. Attracting a mate means strutting your stuff and trying to win the attention of the opposite sex. It is also not uncommon at modern pow wows to see prairie chicken dance moves incorporated into grass dance styles.
