I love this stuff...some really great dancing! I can't believe the woman had on heeled boots....ouch! So, who won? I like a couple of guys in the very beginning and #20. However, I am not just limited to them. Excellent dancers--everyone.
There were 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place winners in several age categories, not enough space here to list them, but you can go to wvculture[dot]org[slash]stringband (sorry, it won't let me put in a direct link), then go to "Contest winners" and see all the winners in the dance and well as music categories.
Glad to see a snippet of our little girl Rebecca - 1st place in junior division for the 4th consecutive time (he said, busting a few buttons on his shirt).
you skipped my baby ( but you skipped a lot of 16-40 i think ) !!!!!!!!! i never get to go & this was my only chance & a mother's heart is just breaking over here - breaking i tell you ;->!
I am so sorry that everyone is not shown. But we can only blame my wife as she was the one with the camera and did the taping. I was a little upset myself, because I know there were a LOT of really great dancers in the 16-40 category.
@fltftdncr oh that's sweet of you - hope you know i was smiling. my girl came in 2nd in the phantom category & her pal came in first - sounds like a wonderful time was had by all :)
She did a great performance! I was watching from the front while my wife went around back to tape - said that's the only way she could get their feet without getting up right at the stage and blocking people's views. It's too bad the stage sits up so high in front.
@fltftdncr oh i thought shooting from the back was kinda brilliant, actually - for that very reason. & you want it high so folks in the back can see - it's all good.
It was a pretty good view, better than I had expected. As to the stage needing to be high, yes, normally that would be desirable for people in the back to see. But the problem with this stage is that the area for the audience is not level. It slopes downward away from the stage. So regardless of where you may be sitting, it's almost impossible to see anyone's feet. That's probably why the judges for the flatfoot competition sit on the stage rather than in front of it.
Awesome dancin!

She is great! I wish my wife had gotten more of her on the tape. But I saw her complete performance - knew she'd win.

I just posted another video which shows her complete performance, recorded by my brother.
