- National Buck Dancing Champion Hillary Klug @HillaryKlug explains exactly what Buck Dancing and Clogging are, and the differences between the two to the attentive crowd at Berks Fiddle Festival.
Thanks for teaching us about the difference between Clogging and Buck dancing ❤
Watching you buckdance is never boring. The joy and happiness that shows in your face is contageous and it just makes me feel good!
She's just awesome and in love with keeping these traditions alive. There so much terrible music today, this is a breath of fresh air!
Don’t change a thing I am 85yrs old and my daddy had a friend that buck danced I never got tired of watching him when I was a kid and you are better than him and a lot prettier!❤
That's an interesting way to put it but i mostly agree. Clogging is an entertainment style. But if it doesn't sound good with the music you're off the beat or doing something else wrong. Buck dancing has more sounds per beat, which is why it enhances the music.
Great explanation! Wish I could see the rest of their set.
Be sure to subscribe. We will be releasing songs from the rest of both the inside and outside set, as well as the clinic Hillary had. The dance off was actually just released the other day!
Great explanation Hillary
I stand humbled. Because I previously called her dancing clogging because it resembled The ancestral Celtic dance called clogging. But buck dance is the better term for what she's doing and others around this country now. And it's enjoyable for everyone whether you're watching or actually doing it. It's great exercise as well
Buck dancing is odd. My conscious brain says it should be boring yet I find it mesmerizing.
Thank You Again And Again!
Thank you for explaining the differences between clogging and buck dancing, but what is flatfoot dancing ?
Your answer to "what is flat foot",the dance and foot movement is closer to the floor.
@@davebrooks6848 So! is the Flat foot dancing footwork closer to the floor than Buck dancing ?
That’s good stuff right there. Love it.
I have been arguing with my old man since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Thanks for clarifying the difference and siding with me. Buck dancing is a distinct instrument all onto itself. I only wish the old codger was still around so I could show him this.
Very similar to the difference between Riverdance style Irish dancing and Sean Nos.
Go Buck Dancing
I tried that and couldn't get out of bed for 6 months after.
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Very cool! Just curious if you've ever seen on youtube Miss Moonshine buck dancing videos?
clogging originates in Europe and uses large motions where Buck dancing is an amalgamation of cultures in the United States among the Native Americans Europeans and Africans and uses smaller movement keeping the torso immobile and letting the arms hang loose. both dances are meant to produce percussive beats.
She is a delight to watch AND listen to. :D
That’s good to hear, because there’s more coming Friday. Stick around and subscribe if you haven for more!
Wow , what an gorchious lady❤
In Sweden , we have no knowing of what Buck-Dancing might be, but Polka is a known dance. I suppose it might be Irish.
🎉 for your dancing skills.
We lived in Fleetwood a long time ago
Come back to visit in September for the fiddle fest, it’s tons of fun.
Good explanation!
And your buck-dancing is what we know as clog-dancing, here in East Anglia UK, or in a different style, step-dance in Wales.
It's step dancing in East Anglia, as in close to the floor percussive stepping in shoes. There are archive films and modern day competitions about it. Clogs have leather uppers and wooden soles in the UK and clog dancing was once done all over, including on the music halls, but survived mainly in the north of England. It can be solo percussive stepping or team morris dancing in the north west region (Lancashire and Cheshire). Same name as American clogging, but theirs is done in hard-soled shoes.
@@moiraruff3292 I'm a purely leisure clog-wearer, Belgian gran. I'm on the EATMT mail-list, living on the outer edge of North-West London, and out-danced the resident band in a Swansea Hwyl-Nos folk evening, marrying in, so I'm not completely useless!
@@moiraruff3292Very good explanation. When the settlers brought Lancashire clog dancing to the US it became a major influence in the evolution of clogging.
Muy buen ejercicio para mantenerse en forma...❤
Sind Sie alle Talentiert ❤
I wanted see more. Darn it.
There’s a couple more songs from her, check them out on our page.
Well, I guess I'm a little biased. I clogged for years as a child, starting when I was abt 8, and I'll be 43 in December lol We always had ppl confuse us as square dancers and buck dancers and we'd say no, we're the better 1s- we're the cloggers! Lol It was all in good fun though😉 Nice video! #Cloggingisbetter 😂
Very cool.. all the way around
Since when is an event in Berks county part of the Lehigh Valley ? Just askin’ as a Berks County resident !
The page isn’t specifically Lehigh valley, youtube limits channel name length. Hopefully we see you this year at the folk festival or fiddle fest!
Seems to me that clogging in the UK is different to American clogging and most definitely older than American clogging and buckdancing.
But what do I know?
I guess buck dancing can take the place of any percussion in a band like this, since your feet are actually playing the percussion.
It would seem so. It’s a great way to exercise too!
Aha! Now I know!
The problem today with buck dancing and clogging is that many many of these teams and single performers often use the same steps, the same rythem for almost every song they dance to. There is a reason why this lady is the champion this is clear to hear and not see. My sister who is big into these groups of people dancing with their fancy dresses going around and around and invited me to attend a meeting one weekend, and even though I can clog a little, I was so bored at doing the same thing, the same moves for every song that was played that night. It was a nightmare and all I kept hearing that night was, WE dont step like that, WE dont move like that. WE High Five others as we pass by them. REALLY???? You High 5 others??? It was the dumbest thing I had ever heard of doing. I was praying I was back in 1972 at the corner bar, watching my dad clog to Crocodile Rock by Elton John. That was 10 times as much fun. LOL.
Buck Dancing sounds like Tap Dancing.
Or maybe tap dancing sounds like Buck dancing?
I never thought of buck dancing as boring. I know I couldn't do it!
So much like River Dance!
Country tap dancing😅😅
and TAP DANCING is what?
Not clogging or Buck dancing. I believe the proper term may be jigging, but I’m no dancing expert.
Tap dance branched off from clogging at some point. It became more of a show style with very intricate steps while clogging stayed on the folk/country path. There are fancy steps but it stays on the beat of the music.
Buck dancing similar to tap?
I respectfully disagree. You look AND sound cool at all times!
Buck dancing doesn’t look as cool, but it’s more fun to do!
" tha clogad Ceilteach"
Даже не знал . Я думал это все степ. Хотя и степ не практикуют в России.
Your video inspired me to look a little further into the subject and I found this old film about clogging and making clogging shoes in Wales from 1959. ruclips.net/video/YGRn1XDYIVc/видео.html
Thank you very much for sharing. :)
Have a good time.
Peter :)
Sorry but she kills the sound of the music with the clogging, you hear her feet more than the music
Jellious!
It all comes from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
If "it" is the dancing she is doing in OP video, it comes from the Appalachian region of the United States, and is a hybrid of traditions from Africa, Europe, Ireland, The Caribbean, England, Scotland, and Wales, and from indigenous North American peoples.
@@olwellflutes Africa?!
@@laurastuart3814 percussive dance traditions in the U.S. (including tap dance, clogging flatfooting, etc.) are a complicated hybrid of many dance traditions, including more than a few from enslaved people of African descent, so, yes.
@@olwellflutes So no! NO and NO again.
@@laurastuart3814 I don’t understand what you mean, but if you mean that Appalachian clogging, buckdancing, and flatfooting are “from” Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales *only,* that’s just demonstrably false. If that is what you mean, I have a question for you: why cling to that idea? What do you gain by denying the influence of African, Caribbean, Native American, and African American people in American dance traditions?
Sounds like she’s disrespecting clog dancing! Why?
I don’t think Hillary has disrespect for any kind of dancing, really. She seemed like a pretty nice girl who loved music and dancing in general.
She painted those pants on
And the waist is at optimum level for back stage viewing! Hope all that comes back full force in fashion🎉🥳🎉

Have you ever heard such unnatural overuse of the words “y’all”, sitting alongside very little of the appropriate accent.
Clogging comes from the clog dancing of the North of England.
Nah! Taylor Swift, whom everyone fawns over, filled that category a long time ago.
Word spew. Slow down, less is more.
Do you have to marry your first cousin to be able to do it?
Keep your stereotypes to yourself. Do you really think whites are the only people to ever marry a cousin?
I doubt it, but you need to check with your local jurisdiction for laws like that… we can’t provide legal advice that holds any water.
@@LehighValleyMusic they must've blocked my comment. It must've been too hurtful. I tried to set this individual straight but you tube shows us it's ok to make fun of some cultures. But not others.
@@LehighValleyMusic They tend to do it anyway unfortunately.
Smart ass
Self-aggrandizing.
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen 😂
You recognize yourself as the worlds worst musician, so I’m sure it’s very hard to impress you.
@@LehighValleyMusic correct.
Idiots always mock things they don't or refuse to understand.
