Apache Dancers

When I was a kid an I Love Lucy episode featured an Apache Dance and my friends and I got great pleasure out of recreating the moves.
The dance was popularized by the Apache street gang which operated in Paris around the turn of the last century. It reenacts a violent dispute between a man and a woman with lots of slapping, pushing and punching.



What is This has a neat collection of pics and videos of Apache Dance history to coincide with Prada's release of an Apache Dance video for their new Candy perfume.
