Among the Native American dances is

Among the Native American dances is the spectacular Hopi snake dance. Before this dance is performed live snakes are collected. During the dance members of the Hopi tribe hold snakes between their teeth. The following day the snakes are released so that they can tell other animals that the Hopi are moving in rhythm with nature. The Hopi often invite members of the audience to participate in their dances so if you have a fear of snakes sit towards the arena.
