Dancing the Cakewalk -1900s' era.mp4

[RKGKSC]

The music is "At a Georgia Camp Meeting" by Kerry Mills written in 1897.

I think this is the origin of the 1910s One Step dance, both are only walking and other features too.

This is Wack! Booooo, hit e'm with a tomato!!!!

[Michaelsinel]

It was simply called The Cake-Walk. Possibly by the Victor Minstrels. Others are Cake Walk in the Sky by Victor Dance Orchestra and Cake-Walk by Good Ol' ragtime Band

What is the name of this particular cakewalk song?

@SJFlattery

If you find out, please post. This is played in Yankee Doodle Dandy and The Magnificent Ambersons.

This dancing is so watered down. They need to kick up their heels and really move. They are too afraid of embarrassing themselves.

If you look at old pictures of the cakewalk this one is really a dull....

As a matter of fact I do have an HD camera -just got it

[elinshouse]

Good, I shall keep looking at your videos. Do you have an HD-camera? The pictures was so nice and clear.

[elinshouse]

It is a good clear picture. But you would benefit by using a tripod. It would then be a Great production. Hope I am not too cheeky saying this?

[p9mso456]

@elinshouse -no not in the least- I simply forgot to take a tripod that day.
