From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:

  Turkey-trot \Tur"key-trot`\, n.
     An eccentric ragtime dance, danced with the feet well apart
     and with a characteristic rise on the ball of the foot,
     followed by a drop upon the heel. The original form, owing to
     the positions assumed by the dancers, is offensively
     suggestive. Similar dances are the


  
     {bunny hug} and
  
     {grizzly bear}, so called in allusion to the movements and
        the positions assumed by the partners in dancing.
