The Fast Horses are a Minnesota based Lakota (Native American) performing family who have been delighting audiences worldwide since 1998.  Their career has spanned 3 continents, 6 countries, 44 states, and 3 provinces.  They credit their success to the fact that they love what they do; entertaining and educating.

Transcending age, language and culture, the performance focuses on the evolution of Native music and dance; it's similarities with, and influences on other cultures, thus surpassing your common ethnic show.

This intimate relationship with performing is expressed through poetry, humor, magic, audience participation, juggling, storytelling, costumes, fire, song and dance.  However, the most important ability that they possess is the ability to improvise and respond to the audiences needs as the situation arises.  This unique talent ensures that each show is a custom tailored experience.

Whether you require short interludes of entertainment, a nonverbal show, or a full length production, the Fast Horses have a versatility to perform in just about any venue or environment.  From schools (pre K – 12), colleges, festivals (such as busking, children's, multicultural) or corporate events … just to name a few!

The Show:
Skillfully interweaving story, music and dance with history and present perspectives, the Fast Horses exhibit a variety of traditional dances performed in a contemporary light.
Such as:    The soaring and uplifting Eagle dance
             The elegant and magical Butterfly dance
             The mysterious and vibrant Vision dance
             The sensual and dangerous Fire dance
Not all the dances are expressed in every show so one may request a variety of performances to suite your venue.

In addition to the dances be prepared to witness a romantic glimpse of a flute serenade or a loving lullaby.  This family does it all:  Being able to set the stage, draw the crowd, keep the crowd and deliver comedy, culture and cuteness all with 2 kids!

So check out this show and find out what prompted the Discovery theater in the Smithsonian Institute to say, "We are lucky when we can find performers of such high quality that convey the cultural message in such a penetrating and yet deeply entertaining way".
