Anna Halprin
"Since the late 1930s Anna Halprin has been creating revolutionary directions for dance..." The actual "dance" starts at 1:11.
Perhaps, after viewing that, you would like to watch a feature-length documentary on Halprin. It'll cost you $3.99 however, although the trailer is free.

Jill Huntley, Mistress of the Half and Half Dance
As we can learn from reading the history of the term, a "half and half dance" originally involved a simple bipartite costume, one half male, one half female. But then in Burlesque, the act morphed into dancing with an actual dummy partner.You can read about the mistress of this mode, Jill Huntley, here.
