The soundtrack is Louis Armstrong's All-Stars, playing "Didn't He Ramble."
1:55 I have visions of Tom relaxing by a pool while Jerry and a bunch of ants ruin his day. Can’t beat those cartoons.
This is where Mick Jagger got his moves.
researching the history of buck dancing, tap, pop lockin, c walk, b walk, crumpin, etc
Hasta el 1:35 la música que han insertado en la filmación es "Oh Didn't He Ramble" , un tema que se tocaba mucho por las orquestas que volvían de los entierros en N.Orleans
Well, I don't know the history, but these dudes dancing look rly cool
The history behind this is basically who can best dance like a white person. Whoever does it best gets a cake :)) (learning this for art history rn)
@@kyraa-8077 You are correct. I’m learning this in history of music
@@kyraa-8077 Actually, it was more making fun of the stuffy white peoples very regimented ballroom dancing common at the time
The Cakewalk was created and perform by Black people in the late 19th century mostly after emancipation. Black folks were influenced by the white southern minuets (slow ballroom dance) that was common in the South. When you watch this Cakewalk dance you can see folks were poking fun by exaggerating steps and movement.
Ummm yes n no not mostly after emancipation definitely while slavery as they were forced to go to events with their masters then would come back n make fun of them. Masters seen n thought it was cool so they invited others with their slaves as wells to participate in “talent shows” featuring the cake walk. It then became more popularized with it being a staple in menstrual shows
@@R411N32Cake was literal- plantation masters offered cakes as prizes for cakewalk dance competitions.
Awesome! Thanks for uploading.
Delightful. I love the costumes. Some of those low walking moves take some serious leg strength, too.
This is how I feel when I'm eating dessert.
Fellow sweet tooth, be blessed.
A perfect dance to pass the time of waiting for the cake in the oven to finish and going crazy icing and decorating it afterwards.
This has to be from the 1930's, maybe 1940's. If one dancer is Pepsi Bethel, he was born in 1918. I know the clip itself looks faded and old...but maybe it's done for effect?
1903
Wake up it's Friday!
Me:
The true, original Cake Walk. Coke mountains.
Great! Now, I will understand better what means cakewalk.
No one
My dreams: here’s SCP 682 doing the cake dance completed with a cane, hat, and music
Like, it’s not a bad dream...
I'd just eat the cake while the others were busy dancing.
Wow. I'd like to learn how to do that.
Yo solo vine a escuchar como es el ritmo "cakewalk" y poder reconocerlo al oir el Golliwog's Cakewalk de Debusy.
Yo vine por el programa de musica xD
Becky Bradway, The Spirit Moves was released in 1986, having been filmed over the course of 30 years, or so it's said. If I had to guess, I'd say this segment dates to the late '50s or possibly the very early '60s, as it clearly resembles the Charleston and other dance footage featuring Al Minns and Leon James that Mura Dehn filmed around that time.
This was filmed in 1903.
They’re going to town
Did Jive Swing make this video? Then why is your name attached as if somehow you produced it? I see you.
Very dramatic to think someone who was hanged at the gallows was said to perform a "Texas cake walk"
"MAN O' MAN"
You are high jacking the Spirit Moves from Mura Dehn at least state the case so the public know where these clips actually come from.
Ayo the drip 🥵🥵🥵🥶🥵🥵🥶🥵🥶🥵🥶🥵🥵🥶😈😈😈😈😈😎😎
Marlon Brando was a huge fan of “black dance”
Yup
Who cares?
Anyone know the song at 1:55
The guy on the left is moonwalking??
What is the name of the second song????
What year is this from 1928 or 1929 or even better 1930 or even better better 1958 or just 1960
1903
@@NomadNewYork1 cool but the music
1:00 this is where orange justice came from look at gu in the back
Me after i eat the cake:
Still promoting you Joseph Sewell?
When are you going to remove your promotion?
Well the cakewalk was a slavery parody dance of white southern society.
Well blackface was a parody of black southern society.
in particular the minstrel show
+Engelhafen You do know that Minstrel shows were preformed by whites dressed up as blacks, so it was truly a white parody to how blacks lived.
+Jacob Morgan You do know Black people dressed up as Black people and performed in minstrel shows as well? Not to start a debate, but I'm just trying to figure out what you and the OP were both getting at?
+Vernessa Clemons Exactly. If people want to repeat historical facts, they need to take the trouble to learn the details of two-sided history. I mean, at least read some Wikipedia articles. That's not asking much.
See you added some actual information about the clip but still promote yourself?
I see Jayz.
That image stabilization is ruining the dance in many places. Please shut it off and let the original unaltered footage.

O
Ragtime dance.
No
Yes & no. Professor Richard Powers of Stanford U. ,? & others
found that though Cakewalk & Ragtime 1 step & Ragtime 2!step
are different dances,
BUT their musics were often cross labeled. Cakewalk came 1st, but the 2 ragtimes followed inn few years- so for profit, music co.s
simply relabeled lol records, or
copper coil records, sheet music,?etc.’But this was not only profit
opportunism, because the 2 music styles ARE similar, & same composers, singers,dancers could often easily mix & match the 2
Cakewalk 1st published piece was in 1840 by US piano & composor
Lois Moreau Gottschalk
Danses cubaines ( Bailes cubanas) Thé great Gottschalk
was US superstar pianist..His bi
Aid larger than life-- Taylor made for blockbuster Hollywood musical film.
Cakewalk was 1 st US dance song music that became popular overseas.
"calk walk"
V de g
I need the name of the song of the minute 4:44!
Please!
+Brian Sanabria Olaya
Joplin's "The Entertainer".
A classic of ragtime.
+Brian Sanabria Olaya We used to sing it in my junior high school in the 70s : 0
Now the curtain is going up
The entertainer is taking a bow
And he steps up to sing his song
Even gets all the audience to sing aa-long... (that's how I remember it, anyway)
:v
Lebron should be cakewalking instead of talking politics lol
Well, In woke uk the word "Cakewalk" and thus the dance is now considered racist towards black ppl despite the history.
That’s poppycock
Source ?
Wait what? The British are weird
The dance my ancestors HAD TO DO to appease their vicious oppressors. 😡
Dance boy dance! Just kidding, that's all in the past, a black man was even in the White House! Now white women even prefer black men to whites!
It’s the dance they did to make fun of their oppressors 😉. It was a big F U to the masters💕
Curtis Whitehead Jr Nope, you need to learn your history. There are LOTS of things to be angry about, but this isn’t one of them. This dance came about AFTER slavery and was the exact opposite of your statement.
Libtard bullshit
This was really popular from my research Black people enjoyed it and earned a lot of money from performing it they were skilled dancers. I understand that the period was bad in many ways but this was very popular
Ack du scheisse
This gave me cancer
Hawkdude1o1 hahahahahaa
