Anole Dance Craze From The 1920s

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt4wsmAdEk8

In the 1920’s, there was a dance as popular as the Charleston, but it was about anoles! Admittedly, it was called the “chameleon,” but clearly it was based on pictures of an anole, and you can evaluate the dance moves yourself to decide if they were more anole- or chameleon-like.

Apparently Luke Harmon, who brought this video to AA‘s attention, is an expert at many of the moves involved in the dance.

  1. We need to start lobbying the Harmon family to make a video of themselves doing this dance! I see the first anole-related viral video in their future:)
