High 5 NaKayla! And in one more response to jpw.. Ya just can't understand maybe what it was like for southern people living in the hills many years ago.. before all of our time. Bet yur sweet bippy Loretta Lynn danced to this music growing up in Butcher Holler.

[Laura7952]

It's tradition of a past gone by and I think it's great that people can keep it going so as not to forget the past. It's a historical festival, in my opinion.. all in the name of fun and raising money for the crippled children that The Shriners take care of.

[Laura7952]

Maybe ya have to have some roots in the southern states in order to appreciate it? I just found the fact that the dancing of the past isn't totally lost and that people still know how to do it, just tickled the heck out of me! I can sit and watch it all day long. lol

[jpw111784]

i really need to know.......is this a joke?

[Laura7952]

No joke! Just a lot of fun and a tribute to the old days and how it used to be. I love it! It's a part of a hillbilly's history.. ya know? 8-)

Hillbilly Dancing is not actually the proper name for this style of dance, it's called clogging. I copied and pasted this from Wikipedia since their seems to be some confusion. Clogging is associated with the predecessor to bluegrass — "old-time" music, which is based on Irish and Scots-Irish fiddle tunes. Clogging developed from aspects of English, Irish, German, and Cherokee step dances, as well as African rhythms and movement. It was from clogging that tap dance eventually evolved.

WOW, what's wrong with the responses on here. This is traditional dance from waayyyyy before city folk appeared. The world is gone to hell now with the new people. Loss of anything good and decent. Like Rome, the US shall fall from within by disharmony.
