Martha done a shuffle in there too.what a talent,fiddles,picks the banjo, dances,sings.reminds me of a young BARBARA MANDREL.but I like Miss Martha more... talented musicians as well.GOD BLESS...
Martha you can sure dance! You have to be in excellent shape! Takes a lot of energy! Done it!! I wonder if anyone in the band knew of my Uncle Bob and the Santmyer Family Band? Music is in our family's blood! Keep up the good work. I will have to get to see you this year.
Yes it does seem definitions vary. I think of flatfooting as low to the floor and freestyle, rather than using a routine."Medicare shuffle". Love it. Any good websites listing fiddler conventions? Last evening was searching online and wonder if anyone has suggestions. For those who want to take learning flatfooting slowly, Becky Stout, out of CA teaches it in small steps.
The most comprehensive site I have seen this 2017 season serving the southern Appalachian region (100 miles of TN, VA, & NC corner) is offered by the Junior Appalachian Musicians: jamkids.org/festivals/ Also, not listed there is a new old time fiddler's convention starting in Unicoi County, TN in 2017 up at Flag Pond near the new Rocky Fork State Park. They have web-site: otfiddlersconvention.com/ plus some social media places.
Everyone seems to have there own definition of these dances. One article placed "flatfooting" and "buck dancing" as subcategories of "clogging". Based on observations from fiddler convention dancing, I think the highly articulated style of Martha Spencer gradually evolves to the more sedate style of the couple to stage left as folks get older. Call that the "Medicare shuffle"- getting old ain't fun but it beats the other option..

I just discovered Martha last week. She is really a talent and a warm personality.
I am not american, but I lived in the States and this is the America that I love.
Greetings from beyond the seas

I wish I could dance 1/2 as good as Martha, Such talent you all are fantastic.

Clogging or flatfooting?
