Answer

Hokey Pokey was an album by Richard and Linda Thompson released in 1975 which is where the dance started.

Answer

When I was in grammar school in Illinois in the early 1950's, we did square dancing and hokey-pokey in the gym when the weather was too bad for recess. We were told the hokey-pokey was popular with Shakers because the men and the women could dance in different concentric circles. I have no way of knowing whether that is true, but please see the Wikipedia link below.
