See: Prince Charles wins hearts when he joins the chiefs in a merry dance

Prince Charles ruined a few moves by attending the 1,000-year-old traditional Dana drum dance at Yellowknife, the capital of Canada’s northwestern territories.

The Prince of Wales spoke privately on the issues with Chief Edward Sangris and Chief Fred Sangris affecting indigenous peoples on his journey to see the leadership of the first nation of Yellowknives Dene in the Chief Drygeese government building in Detta.

He also watched as two teams attended demonstrations of the Dene Hand Game competition.

Prince Charles was then gladly persuaded by the chiefs to take part in a dance in the congo style.

He smiled as the dancers took selfies while the queue swirled in a circle around the room.

Jennifer Drygeese, 67, then said: “He was really good, he had a rhythm. He really looked like he was enjoying himself.

“It means a lot to us. He just got up and danced. He looked like he had already done it.”

Leader Edward said, “It was great. He fit in perfectly. That shows he really cares about the community.”

The dance, which consists of drumming and singing, is performed at most gatherings and celebrations.

The drummers sing and play their caribou drums in a rhythmic beat while dancing clockwise and following the direction of the sun.

Charles also gave the chiefs two boxes of birds from his home in Highgrove.
