This intro to The Patty Duke Show has actress Patty Duke playing the character Patty Lane dancing (from .033 to .036). .The lyrics for that time stamp are lines from that series' theme song: “Patty loves to rock n roll a hot dog makes her lose control.”
This (and a few other very brief scenes of the character Patty dancing in that series) were the inspiration for the African American originated Hip Hop dance called "The Patty Duke".

INFORMATION ABOUT "THE PATTY DUKE SHOW"
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Patty_Duke_Show
"The Patty Duke Show is an American television sitcom created
by Sidney Sheldon and William Asher. The series ran on ABC from September 18,
1963, to April 27, 1966.
The series was developed as a vehicle for teenage star Patty
Duke, who had won an Academy Award the previous year. Duke starred in dual
roles of "twin cousins" Patty and Cathy Lane.
[…]
Premise
Patty Lane (Duke) is a normal, chatty, rambunctious teenager
who (according to the theme song lyrics) lives in the Brooklyn Heights section
of New York City"...

Click https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patty_Duke for information about rhe American actress Patty Duke (December 14, 1946[1] – March 29, 2016).
That page and the Wikipedia page about The Patty Duke Show don't mention or allude to “The Patty Duke” Hip Hop
dance.

Here's my comment regarding that exchange (I didn't publish it in that YouTube discussion thread) :
Given the lack of diversity in this show, it’s rather ironical that African Americans created a Hip Hop dance based on the brief dance
snippet from that intro and named it “The Patty Duke”.
Based on what I've read in various YouTube discussion threads, "The Patti Duke" was rather popular, particularly in parts of New York City, in the 1980s and is "name dropped" in two Beastie Boys Hip Hop records. Because of its fascination with Hip Hop culture, The Patti Duke dance spread to other parts of the world and has multiple "how to" YouTube dance videos, all of which have different instructions for performing that dance.

SELECTED COMMENTS ABOUT "THE PATTY DUKE" (DANCE) FROM THE DISCUSSION THREAD FOR VIDEO #1 & SEVERAL OTHER YOUTUBE VIDEOS
These discussion threads are given in no particular order and are numbered for referencing purposes only..
DISCLAIMER
Showcasing these videos in this pancocojams post doesn't mean to imply that I believe that The Patty Duke dance was done these ways.
I don't know how the original steps for The Patty Duke were done or whether any of the dances that are shown in this pancocojams post or any of the other YouTube videos that purport to be The Patty Duke are actually that dance or later versions of that dance. Most of those other videos have no comments in their discussion thread.
This pancocojams post and its selected comments are published to point out the fact that there seldom is any authoritative version of old school Hip Hop dances on YouTube. Furthermore, old school (1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s) Hip Hop dances usually have more than one name depending on the city or region people live in, and there may be more than one version of that dance during the same period of time. Also, later dances that are performed differently from the original version/s of an earlier Hip Hop dance may use the name of that earlier Hip Hop dance.
Adding to this mix, is the fact that people may learn a Hip Hop dance the wrong way and promote what they learned as the "right way" and/or "the only way" to do that particular dance.

confusion about other dances like this and the "Smurf". You just
never know which version is the RIGHT version. But I'll put my money on the

"I could be wrong, but that is not the real dance "Patty Duke", I was in college when the dance in the early early 80's or very late 70's (1979), and it was a true real imitation of Patty Duke dance from her t.v. show in the 1960's. In fact, I was in college at OU (University of Oklahoma), a party in the building Dale Hall Lounge, and the DJ, didn't have many songs, from Con Funk Shun, "Chase Me" and "Candy" played over, over. That album came out in 1979. I left the party in body pain from doing the "Patty Duke" dance. So maybe this video is some updated version of a dance from a different era. If you want to see the real dance watch the opening song of the Patty Duke Show on FETV 8am daylight savings time eastern time zone, this is on cable t.v. You will be amassed of the dance."

SHOWCASE VIDEO #5 - Learn the Party/Social Dance Step: The Patty Duke | Tutorial
by MDS-Duo | MDS & Entertainment
Mavement, Apr 3, 2020 Step Tutorials
1. The Patty Duke starts with the groove. It has a special
Tap-Hop-Step for it's base and it is not a typical two-step. Start with putting
one foot to the front and tap to the floor with the ball of your foot. As soon
as you did it, add the hop with your back leg (standing leg). Change the side
and do it again. When you switch sides, also pivot and turn the whole body a
bit to the side (almost like a side step).
2. Put in your arms now. Make a big swing and open your hand as if you are ready to smack someone in the face. This is the real inspiration and has a background to it, not just a fun thing we invented. As you do the hop with your feet, your arms should move accordingly to it. Switch arms as you switch the side with the feet.
3. Add your own style to it now. It can be lower, it can be
done with two arms, they can go over your head or touching yourself after the
"slap" and so on. Now you are ready to party and freestyle with a
nice Patty Duke! :) Have fun with it!...
