The place name Sundance was taken from the sun dance ceremony practiced by several Native American tribes.As a given name this is borne by Australian physicist Sundance Bilson-Thompson. American professional beach volleyball players Kerri Walsh Jennings and Casey Jennings named their son Sundance in 2010.
