Looking for something else than pow wow? Give jigging a try.

Métis jigging is a blend of French, Scottish, Irish and First Nations dance styles. It is a high energy dance with quick and complex footwork so come prepared to work up a good sweat! No previous dance or jigging experience is necessary.
