Clarksville, TN - Tennessee Fiddlers Championship Dancers

[glennus626]

I've had this on my favorites list for a few years now. It always reminds me of the natural progression of a dancing family... willing to dance as a toddler, progressing quickly, getting more precise with age. A very kewl video.

[Goaliewiz1]

Try to slowdance with one and you'll lose your toes!

[thewelford]

I love all of you.

[shamelesshussy]

That girl at 1:31 has more talent in her baby toe than all those fake tanned, fake haired, $4000 dress-wearing Irish step dancers have all together. More fun to watch too. This video was posted a few years ago. I hope she's still going!

[CadillacL]

@shamelesshussy I hope she is too! She tore it up didn't she?

[bubzmama]

can't help but keep a big, goofy grin on my face the whole time I watch this. love my country folk. :D

[GoddessIncognito]

I love this video! I've watched it so many times! The woman in the black outfit can reeeeally move, and the older teen girl is incredible!

I wonder if the people in the video realize how much joy they've brought to the world through their dancing?

[CadillacL]

@GoddessIncognito They bring alot don't they? :) Talk about a smile on my face from this.

[CadillacL]

@GoddessIncognito I hope they know because they DO bring joy to others who watch.

The little girl in the orage dress is just doing doublesteps but they r all good!!!

[abcd88808]

Ilove it. thought Metis Jiggers in northern Alberta were good but those ladies are better then them in a long shot.maybe we need them to come and teach us up here.

[euroserf]

Hi From the Republic of Ireland ! My gosh what great music and magic dancers and these are real people doing what they do because they love it. It beats RIVERDANCE hands down ! They really have good Scots-Irish genetics up in them hills !

[mdsmemories]

@euroserf Funny you should mention that, I've always thought Irish dancing reminds me a lot of clogging, I bet that's where clogging came from, all the Scotch/irish immigrants to the US!

[euroserf]

Hi ! yes the resemblance is there all right .

Are you on Facebook ? I put up lots of music and dance videos that i find interesting on my page " Phil Bebbington " ( I'm the only Phil B in Ireland ! ) or " Strawberry Hall Motorcyle Reunion Group " are 2 pages I use.

[barefootin]

I meant 2:02 Sorry

[barefootin]

When I need a pick-me up all I have to do is watch this video. The girl at 20 seconds into it I could watch all day long. Great dancer.

[lindsa01]

[LindeezeySheezey03]

the older girls (number three and four) are sisters - maci and melanie belfiore (not good at spelling it, but its pronounced belfury)

[CadillacL]

Was wondering who they were both are good. :)

[txstoryteller]

Great! Especially love little junior at the start; what a little cutie pie! FIVE stars!

[bigcairnkate]

everybody is just so great! love it, love it...boy nobdy even breaks into a sweat, they're all so good ;)

[krazymetis06]

wow this is champ... just like metis jigging wow

[CadillacL]

I never get tired of watching this. I'm from Louisiana so we don't see this kinda dancing. I've been a fan of it though since I was about

13. First saw it on tv on TNN on an bluegrass show called "Fire on the Mountian" Anyway, its

great to see the dancing being kept alive. I'm disabled so I can't dance myself but, LOVE to watch. Wish more dancers would post on youtube.

[liljthoma]

dancer three brought tears to my eyes, and dancer four made me cry and laugh out loud at the same time. They are AWESOME! I have got to learn how to do this!!! I feel it in my bones!

[cgtechboo]

the third and fourth dancers are amazing.

i'm a tap dancer. but it is nothing like this.

[eleanorroosevelt1]

Those girls were freaking going crazy.

[creepmag62]

this is stuff we never would see without you tube thanks

[bartssue]

This was awesome!! Some of the best I have ever seen.

[sullyroddy]

Yow! The two little ones are darling, but the older girls (dancers three and four) are tearing it up!

[Waitakeredame]

Wind some wool round those legs and they can knit jerseys whilst they're dancin' - fantastic!!

[CadillacL]

hope to see 2008 up soon. The older ones sure show those 2 younger how its done. Great to see it passed down. I also watch it everyday, never get tired of it.

[piertroll15]

where's 2008?

[seemonecowel]

the old 1's certainly show the young 1's a thing or two

[Laura7952]

That baby was too dawg gone cute! All did great!! I want to see more!

[amieeshook]

I have watched this everday for about a month now it makes me smile and gets my day started.

There is nothing better it just moves my soul.

[nmoonlvr]

I just watched it for the first time tonight and I couldn't help but crack a smile. It makes me proud to be a Tennessean born and raised. There's so much great culture and clogging is definitely one of my favorite aspects.

[CadillacL]

I watch this ALL time time. It does make me smile too, I can't dance cause I'm disabled. However, I feel i'm up there too. Can u do them?>

[clogger247]

little girl in the orange is soo cute, and i'm happy to see her start at a young age,but does she really do doubles thru the whole solo?

[getrdun01]

ol gramps isa getin it

[wmbdm]

Cool!!!Whey differant than how they dance Step in Canada-in Cape Breton,New Brunswick,NewFoundLand,Nova Scotia...thank's!!!!

[CadillacL]

they are sisters? I thought they looked alike. Both are AWESOME old-time dancers

& each have their own style.

[CadillacL]

Melanie, is her name? Well, she is sure tearing that floor up. Hope she keeps at it. ALso the next 2 ladies are right up there w/her. Get it ladies.

[MiZtaHFaNtaZtiK]

It's Melanie and her sister! =]

[MiZtaHFaNtaZtiK]

MELANIE!

[MiZtaHFaNtaZtiK]

That girl @ 1:27 is my best friend's little sister. =]

[parkplacekyd]

Man.. @ 2:37 Momma is gettin it.. So cool..

[kacisunset]

WOW! I would need a really good bra to take clogging lessons!

[IsaacBickerstaffEsq]

Clogging was invented long before bras.

Watch the 3:27 woman and focus on her shoulders against the background. Amidst all the apparent bouncing you'll see that they are almost motionless.

The apparent bouncing is an illusion. The motion is almost all confined to the legs. That is the heart of good clogging.

[bluegrasswoman]

SWEET:)

[deadheadsth70]

old dude at the end is cuttin up that rug ...lol

[tdrummmer]

That does it!  I'm taking lessons! :-D

[dovecott]

Thanks for posting

[CadillacL]

I can't get enough of this video, i've saved on my favorites. I'm disabled & so I can't buck/flat-foot, etc but, makes me wish I could jump up there too. Anyone out there can do them?

[lidar15]

wow! that's very nice :P

[licoricepirate]

omg

[zen4culture]

Oh yeah. Thanks for sharing.

[1loveutube]

How many times do you find yourself have to watch this again and again and can't quit? They are good!

[bofts]

The woman at 2:38shows what experience is

[barefootin]

When I need a pick me up I watch this video. My late father use to flat foot. These are great dancers. Thanks for sharing this with youtube.

[martinlook]

hey thast good nice video =)

[livinginohio]

All age groups represented and all of them fascinating to watch...even the little guy.

[littlefilipino]

the third girl was hot...

[arius222]

one of the best things i've seen! thanks for posting this!

[CaptBFart]

fascinating, i stumbled upon clog dancing today as i've never seen it before and must say it's hypnotic and beautiful. nice to see there are parts of the US retaining it's culture and not being homogenized.

[CadillacL]

these folks could show those 'pretty boys" from america's got talent how true mtn. dancing is.

[CadillacL]

I wasn't saying numbers..all was saying is that i use to have pen-pals who danced & seeing this clip made me want to find others that's all.

[TheBachands]

Great moves! Loved it!

[CadillacL]

Does anyone know how I can contact any of these dancers? As some of you have read I'm disabled & though I don't dance myself, i'd love to correspond w/folks that dance, for pen-pals.

[piertroll15]

Yeah,,,give out young girls numbers to some cat on the internet. Didn't I see you on Dateline?

[piertroll15]

Cheers CadillacL.. It is good all around

[CadillacL]

the one before her was kickin it too, the 3rd was real smooth too.

[CadillacL]

You betcha she goes off. This is how its suppose to be done w/out a doubt. You don't see dancing like this much, unless you got a competition or festival.

[piertroll15]

the girl at the 2:05 mark goes off!!

[KIRRYTUN]

esta curada huuuuuu

[OzClawhammer]

Cute!!!

[chickenwbroccoli]

i LOVE this video. made my day.

[Kandykara]

OMG! What a precious baby dancing! Thanks to who ever posted this. I miss clogging more than I can ever say. It's in my heart and soul. Great footwork everyone!

[magicstep4u]

This a great video!  Awesome!

[CadillacL]

AWESOME video. Is this on dvd/video. Would love to have a copy. I'm also lookin for pen-pals who dance. I'm disabled so I'm unable to but, this makes me want to jump out of my chair & dance w/them. Great to see younger folks keeping it alive.
