OG CAKE WALK
Filmed in 1903, Cakewalk dancers doing some serious strutting... for more information: //jassdancer.blogspot.com/
Yes, these are African American's , not white's in black face. They are
doing the Cake walk as well as other steps such as the strut. The Cakewalk
started 50 years prior to this clip, and started with Slaves Mocking their
owners styles of dance. In turn, White's started performing in Black Face
copying the Slaves Cakewalks in the history of dance it became known as the
Mocking day period. The Mockery of one another is what pushed the dance to
new levels thus becoming it's own art form.
hahahaha Beastie Boys... as a ragtimer, I think this is hilarious. There
are dozens of cakewalks you could have used, and piano, band, and stringed
instrument recordings of them, no less. There are modern recordings, and
there are vintage recordings, including recordings going back to 1903 and
beyond, of cakewalks. And... you pick the Beastie Boys! Well, I think it is
hilarious in the same way that someone once did a mash-up of Eminem with
Winifred Atwell doing Black and White Rag.
WRONG! Afro- Americans (thank you, TT Fortune) of yesteryear, like W.E.B
DuBois, would be ROLLING in the grave to see that minstrel was alive and
well in the days of hip hop. Lowering the bar, shucking and jiving. At
least the cake walk, vaudeville acts, took a modicum of skill.
Afro-Americans were originating, creating JAZZ, ROCK N' ROLL, BLUES, and
NOT stealing beats and samples from the students! If you know your history,
then you know where you're coming from...
Seein as how it's a film cut from 1903 and most likely not a production
film as well. There was no music to go with the film. The original folks
dancin it up knew what they were dancin to, and if it were a production
film, there would've been a suggested musical score to be played & most
likely on a piano or organ. Just thinking about it. Also, just thinking
about how the music being played here...is the correlation of past to
present.
It's funny that you say "american history." The cake walk actually came
from afrikan slaves imitating their white slave masters who had tried to
dance.Unknowing to the slave owners, they found this amusing and once in a
while would invite a slave into the "big house." At which time they'd have
a chance at a slice of cake. Hence the name "cake walk."
LOL! i love how white folks put rock music as the main theme to all things
and says it "fits" . like musical ketchup! there are clips of youtube
showing dancers in the current era doing a style of cakewalk and the music
sounds nothing like undanceble punk rock emo stuff, its all just another
attempt to "whitewash" another's culture.
Not funny at all. The United States banned the importation of slaves in
1808. By definition, any person born in the United States, slave or
freeman, is an American. Therefore, unless the persons in this clip are
foreign born, or pushing 100 years old, they are Americans, and their story
is American History.
oh, and if i watch this with the original music, i don't *feel* the joy and
good humor coming out their faces as much as if i hear modern music that
moves my feet too. that's the real joy in this piece - it connects me
viscerally to their so-human love of body moving. what a wise choice of
tune...
Actually, The Cake Walk is what the slaves performed for their owners. The
owners thought this was very amusing and loved it. However, they were
totally unaware that this performance was actually making fun of the way
that whites danced in this period of history.
Mockery or no, your use of modern music brings this dancing alive for a new
generation. It's funny how true that saying is: "Everything new is old.".
Didn't I see that guy doing the "Funky Chicken"? Good work, my man.
what lousy music! i need some rhythm in my music to dance to it. this stuff
is totally off the beat and undanceble. black folks of yesteryear wouldnt
have danced to it anymore than the black folks of today.
Free style-in music from 1990's meets free style-in dance from 1890's. I
like it because it's similar to the common thread that Ties Modern dance
Raves with the Charleston and the 1920's.
Everyone has some kind of dance "in their blood," it doesn't belong to one
race. What happened to judging people by the content of their character,
not the color of their skin?
ITSHAPEN !! Why do you always have to say negative things about this
dancer?? What did she ever do to you, thats like the 4th bad comment you
