		The Salii were a lesser priesthood (a sodalitas (sodales - 'companion') vs. the major collegia) comprised of two groups of 12 men, the Palatini (especially devoted to Mars) and the Collini (especially devoted to Quirinus).
		On the 1st, 9th and 24th of March, during the Feriae Marti, the Salii proceeded through Rome, stopping at certain points to perform a very complicated ritual dance involving much jumping about and to chant a hymn that was so old the Romans themselves forgot the meaning of the words by the late Republic.
		After their processionals, the Salii retired to a feast of fairly luxurious standards (there are stories of the Emperor Claudius skipping out on a palace dinner party to join the Salii).

		The archaic religious processions of the Salii could have been a type of war dance with the priests noisily banging their swords on the ancilia to ward off evil spirits from the fields, while their leaps represented the desired height of the coming crops.
		A subsequent purification rite was performed on 19 October during the Armilustrium, and the Salii, commemorating the return of the legions in the fall, made their final procession through the streets of Rome.

	Hendry on Horace, Classical Journal 88.2
		The poem opens with a bold juxtaposition of archaic Greek literature and contemporary Roman life, as the poet moves in mid-sentence from a motto taken from Alcaeus to an allusion to the contemporary Roman feasts of the Salii.
		Horace, libertino patre natus, was not precisely a gentleman, but, more important, the Salii were Roman gentlemen of the very best class who were not only permitted, but obligated to dance: it was their job, and the justification for their lavish feasts.
		This would be more accurate if said of 1.36, where the reference to the Salii provides a brief metaphorical hint of public celebration, without implying anything about the one depicted.
