. "Cakewalk"@en . . "The Cake-Walk or Cakewalk was a dance developed from the \"Prize Walks\" held in the late 19th century, generally at get-togethers on slave plantations in the Southern United States. Alternative names for the original form of the dance were \"chalkline-walk\", and the \"walk-around\". At the conclusion of a performance of the original form of the dance in an exhibit at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, an enormous cake was awarded to the winning couple."@en . . . . . . .
