Description: Antelope Canyon is one of the most famous canyons on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona and was formed by the erosion of Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding. Over the course of time, the passageways eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing out the hard edges of the rocks. The flowing rocks is what makes this canyon so legendary. Antelope Canyon is about how the dancers discover, explore, and travel through this natural creation together.
