OED seems to have "Apache dance" from about 1914.
This is for Grant Barrett; the other posting was for Yalies. I try to
spread the stuff around.

ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT A PAIR OF PROFESSIONALS GIVE THE "APACHE" DANCE
AMONG THE TABLES, THERE IS NO REASON FOR SITTING THERE.
Pg. 68--To these places come the "_Apaches_" (a word which the French have
borrowed from among our Indian names, to designate a bloodthirsty villain),
the "_voyous_," or toughs, who hang about the markets, and the "_maqueraux_,"
with their women.
