Which is funnier? Seeing an "authentic" Native American dance consisting of such moves as the Harlem Shuffle crossed over with the Spring Slide or watching shocked woke Garden Grove, CA school board members trying to stifle any reaction to that dance for fear of being thought culturally insensitive? If they smile or laugh they could be accused of the latter but by showing disapproval they could be accused of disrespect. So what to do? Best to just FREEZE and display no reaction while praying that the Native American displaying moves from the ancient era of the 70s and 80s when Disco ruled supreme would mercifully end the dance so they could pretend that what they saw never happened.
All that was missing in this unintentionally HILARIOUS entertainment was a Moonwalk as performed by Michael Jackson which he culturally appropriated form its originator, Marcel Marceau.
p.s. No Elizabeth Warrens were harmed during the making of this video.

PING!
Hilarious!
Tough audience, tho!
Not any reaction at all to the “dance”...ROFL
Line dancing is always a crowd favorite here at Jurassic Park. One couple I known moved in and dance 7x24. Crazy.
Schoolboards wasting time. How sad.
I’m wondering why the guy is dancing for the school board to begin with.
My guess is that 98.5% of school boards waste time...
I remember that I was at an event once at the front table where everyone could see me. We had a “Native American” dance routine that was bizarre as part of the show. I had to pinch myself until I bled to keep myself from laughing.
I would accept his dance, his offering IF YOU TRIBAL PEOPLE BY HAND, HAD MADE HIS ATTIRE. Ten Bucks it came from China, and sold at Walmart with synthetic materials that NONE of his ancestors ever knew or would recognize.
The injun was doing some funky chicken AND Electric Slide! I heard the guy dancing is from Brooklyn.
Let’s not forget, Native American dances are only performed on bare earth, never on flooring.
We live in a town that has an Indian college. So I’m exposed to a lot of this. I’ve been to the dances and the Indian Markets. It’s fine. I don’t mind but I don’t go to those anymore. Also got trapped in the back of the Red Rocks venue in Colorado and had to listen to chanting in the stairway for an hour. Glad that they’re saving their culture but I don’t need it.
Also since the dance took place in Orange County, CA, I don't think the original Indians of that area wore anything resembling faux Plains Indians attire.
Anyone in Southern California, involved in scouting, may recall the ‘Tribe of Tahquitz’?
Such dances similar to this (but authentic) were regularly performed by the explorer scouts (aged 14-18). They took pride in making their own costumes and studying the actual dances of the Indians.
My Dad, a Scout Master, was made an honorary member.
That stuff would not go over today.
Astaire need not worry.
