Preview Salty Dog Rag
Salty Dog Rag Calvin Campbell Salt Dog is a dance that most of us have seen and many of us have danced. I thought you might enjoy seeing how it is danced around the world. The first video has a very nice history of the dance printed before the dance is shown. Judy and I had the pleasure of dancing with Nita and Manning several times. Manning was a football coach as well as a round dance leader. Click here to see the video. This is the way we used to dance it 55 years ago. Click here. This was a “must” dance every week at the college square dance club. Here is a really nice demonstration of a Salty Dog Rag as danced in some foreign country. A bit sedate, but accurate in the steps shown. Click here. This group has a number of training videos on YouTube. Some dances done the way I remember them and some are changed quite a bit. Noa-am is a folk dance organization. Click here for more information. The next video shows a far different style of Salty Dog Rag. I could probably do this one even at my old age. Click here. This is the same style as dance above above done at a formal dance with the ladies in beautiful gowns and the men in formal wear. Click here. Notice that the first part of dance is quite different than we do in the U.S. There were probably 25-30 video clips of Salty Dog Rag on YouTube. Several were performance versions done on stages in theaters. Click here for the first one. This stage version was combined with some traditional square dance aerial figures. Click here. This stage version was very well done and based on a 1920 costume theme. Click here.
