Its actually a song called "The Castle Walk" by James Reese Europe. One of my favorites. You could definitely do a two-step or cakewalk to some of Joplin's stuff!

What is the song called? I can't find anything on "The Castle Walk" by James Reese Europe as suggested in the second, top-rated comment.

Fascinating.... Though, it loses a bit of its impact when the dancers aren't in the dress of the period. I would love to see this performed with the lady in a full (long) skirt, and the fellow in his dapper trousers and straw hat. It would give an entirely different effect.

Thanks for posting!
