What is the "cakewalk"?
The cakewalk is a historical dance that originated in the African American communities of the Southern United States in the 19th century. It features high, exaggerated steps and a distinctive, lively rhythm. Dancers perform with a formal, upright posture and often include intricate footwork, including high kicks and quick, precise movements. The dance was originally a form of mockery of European dance styles, but it later became popular in theatrical performances and ballroom settings, and it is known for its celebratory and playful nature.
