The Northern Traditional dance is based off of moves of historical dances that have been held for generations. Take one step on the ball of your toes, then lift and rap it once on the ground; tap it once again but this time you recoil the impact with the back side of your foot a few milimeters above the ground. Rock your balance to the other side and repeat the process with the other foot. Performed in a walking motion, it is with great difficulty that a good dancer can keep rhythm with the drums no matter how quick they beat.

Traditional regalia (clothing) is worn, using traditional materials of either cloth or leather. Ceremonial ornamentation, such as head dress and jewelry, are reserved and put on for display. Use of traditional weapons may also find their way into the hands of dancers and aid in accenting their movements to those watching.

And so, we have Logan performing the Northern Traditional, dressed in his Lenni Lenape traditional regalia. Judging by the smile on his face, he's not missed a step yet!
