Le costume utilisé pour la danse du châle d’apparat comprend, outre le châle, une robe de cérémonie descendant à mi-jambe, des mocassins ornés de perles et des mitasses assorties, ainsi que divers bijoux. La danse comporte beaucoup de déplacements, les danseuses devant exécuter de nombreux tours et des pas de fantaisie, en suivant le rythme des tambours et en s’arrêtant net à la fin, les deux pieds bien au sol. 4, record 2, French, - danse%20du%20ch%C3%A2le%20d%26rsquo%3Bapparat
