Very early '60s Dick Dale & the Del-Tones perform the tunes Teen Beat and All Night Long at the Harmony Park Ballroom in Anaheim, California.
Oh, and try to ignore the TCR (time code reading) display at the bottom of the picture...I have no control over that!
@JRouterwave He is actually doing a version of the Pony . a very popular step at the time

@b88l2 Not really a recognized dance..People ( usually not the best dancers) would mimic doing all kinds of different things.. lassoing with a rope was a common thing..

@LimboShrimp sax is one of the easiest wind instruments to pick up and make a note, but one of the most difficult to make a consistently good tone from lol. both of them are always on the verge of squeaking the reed lol.

This was not a recognized form of dance. The guy was improvising. And that was allowed back then. You had the freedom to develop your own style and see if someone else catches on.
Also on 2:22 the guy with the black shoes does the a surfers shuffle that I used to do a lot but I cannot do it now. Can't figure that out!

Speaking of dance moves, at around 4:53 there's a guy, more or less in the middle of the crowd, who does a move where in looks like he's mixing an imaginary drink by pouring it from one imaginary beaker to another, and then he gulps it down! Was this a recognized dance during this period? Someone who's familiar with the dances of that era might be able to answer this.
