My Favorite Apache Dance
July 16th, 2008 by RobHere is some footage of Dawn and I working out a disagreement about dancing:
Just kidding!
After mentioning Apache Dancing last week, I thought I would post one of my favorite clips of it. It’s from The Crazy Gang’s “Okay for Sound” (1937). The simulated violence takes an amazing amount of coordination and practice to get down pat… and the stunts rank up there with the most difficult swing aerials. And if you are wondering, this dance is where the Apache move comes from in Lindy Hop.
Oh… and don’t try this stuff at home kids!
