June Carter Cash - Flat Foot Dance London 1981

:O

I think it's interesting that he put her shoes back on her feet. He didn't let a stage hand do it. He didn't just give them to her and watch her do it. I guess that shows how attentive he was with her.

[peppilapiu]

@artsylovelylady I agree. Something significant was acted out on stage and I can't put my finger on it. Both June and Jonny had that wonderful old soul energy.

I watched her dance at Jones Country down in Colmesneil, Texas about this time...80,81,82........don't remember the date exactly, it was magic..........I'd give my next month's pay to be back watching it again. That was also when I got turned onto Marty Stuart's picking.......he was playing with Cash at the time.

june was a hottie

[drs2tone]

Ahhh........that is my childhood! Bluegrass and Buck Dancin baby!!

My mom actually won several awards for this dancing, in Downtown Atlanta...back in the 70's!

That's marty Stuart, playing fiddle, when he was in Cash's band, sporting a Mustache/beard. I seen all of them in 1981.

I love how he puts her shoes on that is so cute

[sandladyvb]

I always thought June Carter could hardly contain herself from dancing whenever she sang. I thought she was clogging but thanks to this video, I now know she was "flat footing." Must be a "Clench Mt." tradition from where she grew up handed down from one generation to another. Mother Maybelle sure didn't "flat foot." So, don't know where she got it from. I love Johnny's gallantry helping her get her shoes back on.

[Fozzymaple]

what is the name of the tune to which she's dancing?

[fredkoning]

I think it's called "chicken blues"

[kittyat6]

It is called Turkey in the Straw. Used to be a popular clogging round dance 20-30 years ago too.

[tobaccotagman2]

@kittyat6The tune is chicken reel.

This brought smiles and laughter to our faces. What a beautiful fun loving person June was. She also had the beautiful long hair too. How we miss both of them, but their music lives on in our hearts.

[rmstudio]

@QChord4Fun Yes wasnt her hair just beautiful.. Rosanne used to say that she and her sisters would brush her hair all the time and just loved her hair as well. To the poster of this video thank you. I surely am much happier for getting to actually see June Carter Flat footin.

[ffej980]

she sure can shake a leg...go june...RIP

[DEATHddc]

Hey guys is it just me or this really resembles drum n' bass dark-step walking dancing style?

Just wondering if they are some how related... :)

[LiasonRocks01]

june is and will always be awesome she is truly missed

[frymahhide1982]

I miss them so!

[rmstudio]

If that wasnt the nicest video of June being who she was! Fantastic! It dont get much real than that. June was old enough to be my grandma but I always thought since a little boy she was the prettiest lady. Now that I see her flat footing work makes me like her that much more. Such a endearing lady. John's love for her was undeniable. Thanks for showing this one. From this its clear why I am a big fan of both of them.

[mcdanieltony]

I remember June dancing on tv as a kid. 40 years later I still enjoy it.

[teeger66]

He so loves her "No matter what"!

[Bilroy1]

I saw a Virginia gal dancing like that once..but she jumped up so high that she fell on her butt!! Very Entertaining.

[wistanner]

Priceless !! Thanks.

[chadbeccablue]

[jnizny]

I rented this concert from a public library about two years ago and recorded it on DVD maybe it's still available in other librarys

[whtguycam]

great vid...was that a young marty stuart playing fiddle?

[msrobzombie]

haha that was the best dance ever! i think he only helped her with her shoes because it looked like she was having trouble with her top lol, watch how she covers herself while john gets her shoes lol

[sweethoneychild]

Johnny crawling around the stage getting Junes shoes for her. How sweet

[mcgastelo]

That's great when he puts her shoes on for her. They're so sweet together.

[catkin1981]

[catkin1981]

[froggyluver2]

How Cute.

I atempted to leanr flat foot danceing.

Its not as easy as she makes it look

[tuckergrl11]

where did you try to learn? i've been looking for the steps written down or a class and can't find anything or anyone that teaches it.

[bosnmate820]

Tuckergrl11, this is handed down, not taught in books. Most old timers that learned this dance couldn't read. The same is true of the different Native American dialects.

[jella18]

wow this is great :) i know she used to do this as a kid to entertain people inbetween songs :) she still knows how to do it :) even after fifty :)

so cute how he put her shoes back on :) i love them :)
