Flat Footing

Thanks for the clip of Tommy Jarrell.

Hi friend,

Really any good pair of leather soles will do the trick. Use some "old" dress shoes or maybe the thrift stores etc. Once you get on a good wood surface like this gal is dancing on, you'll hear those steps almost as well without the solid taps, though they do give a nice sound.

@fifthworld I got myself and my grandaughter a pair of cheap Tap shoes and we have great fun trying to do this dance. Of course we wont ever be as good as this lady. I just love it and watching her feet wishing I could do it as well as her.

thanks for sharing love it.

My family didn't have the money for any special shoes, so they just did it barefoot and socks, and they had quite a time :].

@starsandbars Dixie I'm sure your family were very good dancers too. I did try barefoot with socks but t's not the same, the shoes are an-added bonus, I know that these shoes like all dancing shoes etc are quite expensive so I found 2 pairs of nice tap shoes going cheap for me and my grandaughter and we 'TRY' to do this Flat Footing but it will take us a long time to catch on to this one. :) We love, and enjoy it . HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I guess that works out great then! I didn't think of tap shoes. Flat Footing, whether you're a beginner or expert at it, is fun to do. If you don't have a start, I'm sure you can find instruction on Youtube or search it on Google.
Happy new year too you too.

@starsandbarsDixie Thank you. I will search Youtube and check to see if there is instructions. Sean-nos dancing is lovely also. All the best.

Good stuff.

Isn't that a young Paul Brown playing banjo?
