The Crow Hop originated from Western Tribes. It, too, is a social dance meant to mimic the crow as he bounces around the field. One legend states that the crow brought fire to our land to keep our ancestors alive through the cold winter. Dancers imitate bird-like movements, hopping side to-side, first on one foot and then on the other. Men are the primary sex for this social dance. I noticed that with every step they had to keep in check with the drum's beat, truly focused group of men to be able to step with every drum's beat.
