Bowery Waltz
Vaudeville performance of a stylized dance-hall spiel, showing James T. Kelly and Dorothy Kent of Waite's Comedy Company and their famous "Bowery dance".[1] {{#ev:youtube|IYkIBhNSVVs}}
A Tough Dance
Video of Kid Foley and Sailor Lil, two Bowery dancers, performing the so-called tough dance,[2] a waltz from roughly the same time and similar to the dance-hall spiel. The dance "not only permitted physical contact, it celebrated it. Indeed, the essence of tough dancing was its suggestion of sexual intercourse".[3] Similarities to the Parisian Apache Dance have been noted.[4] {{#ev:youtube|DzqG6sXkcb0}}
