DC | Shub's PowWow-Step Dance Party

For over a decade, Shub has been on the forefront of a movement that reshaped Indigenous Electronic Music. Shub grew up in Fort Erie, on the border between Ontario and Buffalo, New York, as a Mohawk and a member of the Turtle Clan of the Six Nations of the Grand River. When Shub realized that the typical tempo of a dubstep track, 140 BPM, mirrored that of the grass dance songs he'd heard at community gatherings, he combined the two to create a new sound— PowWow Step. A trailblazer and a founding member of A Tribe Called Red, Shub brings his award-winning and genre-defining sound to the museum along with dancers to energize the crowd. Show off your moves solo or bring a friend to join you on the dance floor!
