Many regions have some style of complex foot tapping to keep rhythm for fiddlers. Still, French Canadian fiddlers are known for their foot tapping right across Canada (there are francophone communities from Newfoundland to British Columbia). Often "French" fiddlers outside Canada use complex rhythmic tapping as well, in differing styles. The rhythms have to do with the ways people dance to the music.

This was a great instructional video, and thank you for playing the reel slow enough (at first) to let me try it to the music! 😍
Awesome foot percussion on floor 👍👍👍👍👍👏💯
“Heel Toto!” So funny! I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore, more like a kitchen party in Rimouski! Great lesson, thank you! (You make it look easy!)
Thanks!!
Is it only Québec who do that ?

It's also a component of Métis fiddling
