O nome da dança é mesmo "Happy Prospector Dance" conforme o vídeo abaixo. (uma alusão à dança de felicidade do garimpeiro ao encontrar um filão de ouro).

Quanto a "pequeno/a", pode tanto se referir ao pequeno garimpeiro, trantando-se de um livro infantil, ou à dança propriamento dita, dependendo do seu contexto.

disagree  Paula Vaz-Carreiro: I'm sorry to have to disagree but the word 'little' in the original sentence refers to the dance, not the age of the prospector// :-) I wouldn't have remembered either. But please see my discussion entry about the other of adjectives. Boas festas.

disagree  Paula Vaz-Carreiro: I'm sorry to have to disagree but the word 'little' in the original sentence refers to the dance, not the age of the prospector.//I checked it with my (British) husband before I posted my disagree...I just don't know how to explain why it is the dance :-(

  -> No problem Paula, we're all together in this! I do think however that if "little" referred to the dance, then it would read "prospector's little dance", as opposed to "little prospector's dance". Paula, I probably should've asked my American hubby as well

agree  Paula Vaz-Carreiro: Yes, and the word 'little' in the original sentence refers to the dance (not the age of the prospector like the other answers suggest).//I was saying that your answer is the only right one. The word little REFERS to the DANCE and nothing else.
