I am Irish my people were sent to this country (Georgia) by the Queen as political prisoners and they kept all the old dancing and music,I really miss the old family gatherings and the music and dancing, my grandfather was a great dancer.
Flatfoot dancing is a variation of the clogging the Scots-Irish brought over to Appalachia and eventually into the Ozarks. When you didn’t have TV this is what you learned to dance! Iff’n it weren’t against Yur religion!
Yeah she's West Virginia God bless her heart red white and blue and bless your country too she's Pure Country pure so give you the dress off of her back she would
We came from Ireland a “ways back”. I’m 60 and I think I remember this lady as I grew up not too far from Orma. When I was a kid, I was so fascinated that women played the banjo. Some of us got out before the potato famine. We traced our family back to Limerick and Londonderry. Do you live close to either of those places?
@@altdelete7696 orgins no but it took on a life of its own, just like it and african dancers feed into what become tap dance, and from there you also had shuffle steps they did in the roaring 20's and watch the moves of the charlston and then watch how modern house style dance and shuffling dances are done and tell me we are not full circle only with slight variations much of house dance or footwork style street dance very much resembles tap dancing.
Scot’s Irish don’t much do clogging and most Appalachian people aren’t from there. It’s Northern English and that’s where you are from. However, those northern English borders people did in ancient times move in a band across northern Ireland and the English Scottish borders.

My Baptist parents were against most things, but this was an exception. It may have to do with the fact that they were pretty good at it
Dance on 🎉

You're very welcome.

Have you ever wondered why there are no drums in American folk music even though Americans love a percussive rhythm?
No you know
