On effectue la danse en rond lors de cérémonies commémoratives ou de célébrations. Le début de l'évènement est marqué par une cérémonie du calumet et un festin, suivis de chants et de danses accompagnés de tambours à main. Les participants se donnent la main, forment un cercle et dansent autour des joueurs de tambour en suivant le sens des aiguilles d'une montre. Les organisateurs de la danse en rond terminent la soirée en procédant à des offrandes afin d'honorer l'intention de la danse et de remercier les personnes présentes. Les danses en rond peuvent également avoir lieu lors d'activités sociales ou de pow-wow. 3, record 2, French, - danse%20en%20cercle
