Rev. Jesus "H" Christ, KSC (@reverendjesus.com):
Does anyone know what this weird little dance move is called? I keep seeing it in our old cartoons but I don't have the words to call attention to it.
susan (@susandixon.bsky.social):
Pretty sure it's an imitation Highland Fling
...Rev. Jesus "H" Christ, KSC (@reverendjesus.com):
Ok, that's the closest thing I've seen
Rev. Jesus "H" Christ, KSC (@reverendjesus.com):
But usually in cartoons it's WAY less… enthusiastic, i guess?

Tiffany Knoell, Ph.D. (@tlknoell.bsky.social):
It's similar, but I think Ub Iwerks was really just going for easily reused pieces of animation. The holding your finger at the top of your head while turning around was used to indicate someone simple as opposed to sophisticated.

Scottish flavoured gavotte? I wanna say it's a gavotte in the style of a highland dancer
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
...Is where i saw it most recently ~45 seconds in
Rev. Jesus "H" Christ, KSC (@reverendjesus.com):
Usualy done a little slower, like at about 2:15 here (although these two characters are using each others' hands, rather than their own, I've seen the same basic move both ways)
