Dance Me Outside is a collection of short stories written by W. P. Kinsella in 1977.[1]

The book contains stories narrated by Silas Ermineskin and is set on a Cree Indian reserve in Central Alberta and is about what happens in the lives of the people that live on the reserve.[1]

In 1995, Bruce McDonald directed the film Dance Me Outside starring Ryan Black, Hugh Dillon, and Adam Beach, an adaption of the book by Kinsella.[2] A year later in 1996, the television show The Rez was first aired, which was also an adaption of the book by Kinsella.
