into the air by her midsection, Pepé Le Pew strolls by an open window while singing Auprès de ma blonde, causing both of them to humorously wilt like flowers from his overpowering stench. An episode of The Muppet Show, (1976, season one, episode five), included a "French tango" performed by guest Rita Moreno. It was Moreno's idea to perform an apache dance. Gillian Lynne did the choreography. An Apache dance also figures in the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1968). When Andrew Lloyd Webber set out to create a more than usually fascinating musical mix and included a wide variety of musical genres in this show, he added a very French number. When Joseph's brothers are explaining their impoverished state, after selling Joseph into slavery and experiencing the seven lean years, they sing about "Those Canaan Days" reminiscing of better days. Included within that number is an Apache Dance, a brief joyous celebration of what once was and a poignant expression of their regret for their actions. In the movie Moulin Rouge! (2001), "El Tango de Roxane" is performed as a tango with Apache elements. In the Apocalyptica video "I Don't Care" (2007), Apache dance is featured in a scene between Adam Gontier and a woman. In the Pink video "Try" (2013), the singer and male dancer Colt Prattes can be seen performing an interpretation of the Apache dance choreography by The golden Boyz - R J Durrell and Nick Florez - and aerial choreographer Sebastien Stella.
