Throughout the 60's and early 70's, we did a variety of dances that they are now calling "fad" dances, but the one dance that remained constant during that time was the Pony, from Chubby Checker's "Pony Time". The beat is 1&2, 3&4, etc, with the feet comfortably together. Various arm and hand motions can be done when Pony-ing, and movement on the dance floor can occur; however, there is no line-of-dance. Couples do not touch, and they are generally facing each other, but turns and chase positions are also possible.
