This dance is called Tranky doo and the name, as Frankie Manning tells the story, was inspired from a Chicago dancer called Tranky Doo. She often used combinations of fall-of-the-logs. Frankie claims to be the one that first created it and used it for encores in shows with his group called Congaroos and at the Savoy Ballroom. Frankie also called the second part of Big Apple “the Tranky Doo part“. Some of the steps are the same in these two.
The story says this version should be influenced by Pepsi Bethel.
