Each time a stomp dance is to be held a medicine man prepares the ground with prayer and medicine. It is a tradition that the first four stomp dances performed are by the members of that particular ground (tribal town) only. After that other leaders are asked to lead. Each stomp dance begins with a series of phrases chosen by the leader. The phrases are repeated by the singers that follow him. After the song is begun the phrase must be answered with the correct phrase for that particular song. The leader then adds his own lyrics and the followers continue to answer him. When the song is about to end the leader raises his hand giving a signal for the end.
