Chimney Rock hosting Dances of the Ancients

The Oak Canyon Dancers will perform at Chimney Rock on Saturday. This performance of the Eagle Dance by a member of the group was in Cortez in 2015.

Chimney Rock Interpretive Association will host the first annual Dances of the Ancients event on Saturday, May 27.

Two Pueblo dance groups will gather at Chimney Rock to dance in the Great Kiva, home to their ancestors. The Acoma Rain Dancers from Acoma Pueblo and the Oak Canyon Dancers from Jemez Pueblo are both all-children dance groups and will be performing at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.
