Phillip Whiteman, Jr: Interpreting the True Language of the Horse

Phillip Whiteman, Jr. Grass Dance

Dance Performances

Phillip is considered one of the premier dancers in North America. He dances the "Old Style" Grass Dance. In his presentation he shares the story of the "Grass Dance" and how a young boy was paralyzed. The young boy believed in his dreams and was healed. Phillip's dance movements imitate the young boy moving to the left and to right-in a circular motion, struggling to get up; he imitates a horse before a storm-prancing; the wind blowing the grass back and forth in the wind.
