@scdefion True enough and this dance has its roots there, but it's evolved into a very different style nowadays.

Also I hear that you will be teaching a workshop in Seattle?

Are you wearing wooden taps? I only have performed once on concrete in my metal taps (it was a Sean-nos brush dance, actually) and I was scared the whole time that I would slip!

@bloobear1 Irish jig???? No way!
-
@jeffcrane Well the dance came to America by way of the Ulster-Scots and Irish. Some parts of the Southern and Northern Appalachians you cant throw a dead cat without hitting somebody that has that kind of blood.

I've watched this vidio many times now. I wish I would have been raised in Vermont!
It gives such a good feeling to watch. Really would love to see more dancing like that on YouTube! I just love these guys.

When the Scots-Irish came to America, a vast majority of them settled in the Appalachians. That's where you get the word "hill-billy", flat footing, clogging, and country music.

It's not an Irish dance - that's Appalachian flatfooting. So it's not really the funny part.

Also influenced by Native (Cherokee esp) 'flatfooting', adjacent to southern BUCKDANCE, not far from Quebecois step. See the late great Mike Seeger's documentary "Talking Feet".
