Because he was bored.
The one step is the precursor to the fox trot and is an early ballroom dance. It is danced in 2/4 time and is a series of long rapid steps performed in succession. Another version of the dance is called the turkey trot.
There is no question but that the fox-trot was originated in the summer of 1914 by the vaudeville actor Harry Fox., in New York City, New York, United States of America [...] As part of his act [in the New York Theatre] Harry Fox was doing trotting steps to ragtime music, and people referred to his dance as "Fox's Trot." [from: The Complete Book of Ballroom Dancing by Richard M. Stephenson and Joseph Jaccarino.}
