The
dancers and singers got together to practice on a regular basis. The dancers used to
practice on Sundays, and the Drum still usually practices on Fridays. The dance team practice
was at St. Paul's United Church of Christ, Palatine, from 6:30pm to 9pm when there was not a
Pow Wow or other special event on that weekend.
Also, the OA lodge meets the 3rd Wednesday of each month in Mt. Prospect.
OA dance team members should attend.

Lakota Singers singing the Flag Song and Veteran's Song. Other highlights include
demonstrations of Men's and Womens Traditional and Fancy dancing, Grass dancing, Jingle Dress dancing, a traditional Sneak up,
round dancing, a two-step, and others.
The performance season is usually January through March. | About Us | Calendar | Lakota Singers | Membership | Contact Us | Links |
