BUSTER: Haba, Stephan. Are you ready to dance?

STEPHAN: You'll finally see me.

BUSTER: What dance are you going to do?

STEPHAN: Grass Dance.

BUSTER: I thought so. It's your specialty. Great outfit.

CARLOS: Hey, Buster, I think we're ready to start.

BUSTER: Where are all the dancers?

CARLOS: The drummers are calling them to the dance.

BUSTER: Look at the two big bustles on the back of his outfit. That must mean he's a Fancy Dancer.

CARLOS: How do you know that?

BUSTER: Caleb told me. It looks cool when they do the turns.

CARLOS: There's Stephan. He's doing the Grass Dance. It's one of the oldest dances around.

BUSTER: So why is it called the Grass Dance?

CARLOS: Watch his feet. Grass Dance is about stomping down the tall buffalo grass to make a clearing for a camp before a ceremony.

BUSTER: Oh, so that's why he's stomping the ground.
