Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Snake dance is a term used to refer to a parade before or during a high school or college homecoming event. The parade includes floats built by each high school class, marching bands, students, and alumni. Snake dance may also be more narrowly used to describe the student parade. It usually starts in a central business district or school location and ends with an evening bonfire and pep rally near the school. "Snake" refers to a line of students and "Snake Dance" is a traditional term. The University of Northern Iowa archives refer to Snake Dance as early as 1922. Snake dancing was also a 1920s popular dance craze where arm and hand movements mimic a snake or its handling. Fred Astaire performs a memorable one atop a table in the 1943 movie The Sky''s the Limit. Snake Dance can also refer to a part of the Pueblo American Indian celebrations. It originated from the Dream Dance. The event involves the handling of live rattlesnakes and is a variety of rain dance. It can also involve holding live rattlesnakes in the mouth.
