Introduction
Dance Music Dog Names in Pop Culture
Why is Rowlf so special? Well, he rose to fame as a lovable Muppet (as in puppet muppet), who was a magician on the keyboard - he was the resident piano player. Rowlf is a scruffy brown dog of unknown breed with long floppy ears, and a round button nose. Known to be always calm and collected, his humor is characterised as deadpan; he kept a straight face while cracking jokes. He loved classical music and musicals. Bouncing around as he belted out one tune after another, his love of dance music made him a true performer. He reached national stardom as a cast member of The Jimmy Dean Show from 1963 - 1966 and was loved by young and old for his lovable portrayal of man's best friend.
Some dancers have an affinity with their dogs and often have them at the rehearsals with them, such as American Ballet Dancer Lauren Post and her dog Pickles (an awesome name for a dog by the way). Pickles follows right along with her as she does her physical therapy exercises and she even uses the dog in place of weights. I love the photo where Pickles is sitting patiently on her tummy as she raises and lowers her body. You can just see how devoted this cute little munchkin is. Pickles even has his own Instagram account so look him up sometime.
Still on the dance music inspired theme for dogs, a YouTube video that is taking the country by storm and is all about an owner and her dog dancing to the Grease movie hit song, 'You're The One That I Want'. Carolyn Scott and her dog Rocky love to dance together, with Carolyn in full costume and Rocky with a special neck scarf. This type of choreographed performance is known as Musical Canine Freestyle. Who would have thought that dogs and dance go together so well? Apparently musical canine freestyle began in 1989 in Canada, and has slowly spread in popularity around the globe. Its a cool way to spend time with your dog, and dogs always love to spend time with their owners, so maybe next time you are a bit bored or need some exercise but the weather outside is not good, then stay indoors and teach your dog some dancing skills. It is a great way to have fun with your dog.
