The Cake Walk is, just like the Quickstep, the Schottisch, the 'Rag and the Quadrille, a popular American dance from the second half of the last century. Both the rhythmic and the melodic structure of the Cake Walk display a clear relationship with ragtime and jazz and even a composer like Claude Debussy has availed himself of these influences in his music (Le petit Nègre and Golliwogg's Cake Walk).

Tout comme le Quickstep, la 'Schottisch, le Rag et le Quadrille, le Cake Walk est une danse populaire américaine remont à la deuxième moitié du siècle dernier. Du point de vue trant rythmique que mélodique, le Cake Walk est clairement apparenté au Ragtime et au Jazz. Debussy lui-même a repris ces influences dans sa musique (Le petit Nègre et Golliwogg's Cake Walk).
