The '''Pony''' was a dance made popular in the 1960s by the [[Chubby Checker]] song "Pony Time". The beat is 1&2, 3&4, etc. In the dance the feet are kept comfortably together, while various arm and hand motions are possible. Movement around the dance floor may occur, but there is no line-of-dance. Couples, who generally face each other, do not touch [http://www.sixtiescity.com/Culture/dance.shtm] and turns and chase positions are possible.

The Pony is mentioned in the [[Wilson Pickett]] song [[Land of a Thousand Dances]], in the [[Nick Lowe]] song "I Knew the Bride" and in [[The Go-Go's]] song "[[We Got the Beat]]."

[[Cindy Wilson]] of [[The B-52's]] can be seen performing the Pony in the video for their 1980 song, "[[Give Me Back My Man]]", as well as in other films of the band performing between 1978 and 1980 (including their 1980 appearance on "[[Saturday Night Live]]"). The band completed the period effect by wearing early 60s-style outfits and hairstyles.
<!-- The Pony has its like in classical dance. In fact, the movement of he pony is universal, occurring in every recorded tribe and society.
