caption_attribution_description: Apachentanz, 1911, Lichtdruck, koloriert auf wolkenmarmoriertem Karton – Apachentanz = Kein Indianertanz, sondern ein Varietétanz, der um 1900 in Paris entstand und das Verhältnis zwischen einer Dirne und eines Zuhälters akrobatisch und pantomimisch darstellt
context_page_description: Apache, or La Danse Apache, Bowery Waltz, Apache Turn, Apache Dance and Tough Dance is a highly dramatic dance associated in popular culture with Parisian street culture at the beginning of the 20th century. The name of the dance is taken from the term for Parisian underworld of the time.
  The dance is sometimes said to reenact a violent "discussion" between a pimp and a prostitute. It includes mock slaps and punches, the man picking up and throwing the woman to the ground, or lifting and carrying her while she struggles or feigns unconsciousness. Thus, the dance shares many features with the theatrical discipline of stage combat. In some examples, the woman may fight back.
  In many films and cartoons depicting the Apache dance, the music traditionally used is "Valse des Rayons" from the ballet Le Papillon by Jacques Offenbach.
