Eeee haaa! Who was the fiddle player?

Some damn good Appalachian square dancing.

Love those ladies dresses 👗 White Heels and Sheer Pantyhose

Country tap!

Awesome!

Yawwwwwn...😴 this is like watching that bloody awful Irish dancing or a couple of piss head Jocks wearing a dead cat as a Belt and Ballet Dancing over two rusty pig stickers. 🥴

Love it

This video just proves why you should NOT be doing crackcocaine!

WOW!!

Great to see White traditional dancing and music that goes back thousands of years being kept alive. And long may it remain so.

I still have these exact shoes when i clogged back in the day.

great !!!

I shouldn't be doing this. I'm showing Lucifer what my perfect hell would be.

Always wanted be a melvin sloan Dan cer

Brill !!!!!

This looks a lot like square dancing, which we did (tried to do) back in elementary school. 1950s - early 60s. Both of these forms are probably hanging on by a thread. Makes you wonder what other forms of music and dance have disappeared altogether.

What year would this be? Thanx

Fantastic

Wonderful!

Nobody even looks at the men

Not sure what I'm watching .... but I love it.

I used to hang out backstage at the Opry every Friday and Saturday night with my friend Porter Wagoner for a couple years. His bodyguard was my friend and martial arts student and that is how we met and became friends. After the Opry we would go across the street to the Nashville Palace with a couple of the dancers that were a married couple and she was a great fiddle player who got to play it on the Opry too. I won't name them. But, people in the know will know who I am talking about. Today at the Wilson County Fair in Lebanon, Tennessee there is an event called Celebration with Melvin Sloan. It is at 6:45pm on the Opry Stage at the Fiddler's Grove Opry Pavillion. These dancers are incredibly talented. May God bless Melvin Sloan and his family. And, may he rest in peace.

They can wear those outfits at my party and serve the hors d'oeuvres

My grandmother's square dance shoes were black instead of white. They were her dress up shoes as long as she could go anywhere. Wish I could have seen Granny square dance!

I believe this sell off marked a major break from the situation last year, when the Vix recorded its lowest ever average annual rate in the stock market.

That's some mighty fine fiddle playin. I'll bet Charlie Daniels could wear this one out!

Amen Damm good

absolutely amazing steps - absolutely garrish and detracting costumes.

wonderful . . lovely shootin', Ladies and Gents! Six to four the field . . . . Johnto!!!

Excellent, in these sad times. Thank you!

My Mother Ruby Hollingsworth made those outfits. I still remember watching her sitting there sewing those outfits.

Outstanding!

All I can say is WOW.

Prefiro o sapateado mais marcado com os grandes protetores no calçado !

are they tap dancing?

They were all fantastic, of course, but the third girl from 2:30 to 3:00 flat out tore it up imho.

Love this dance! Question: why do cloggers only do the 360 spin using their right leg? Never see the left one used.

Why is there not any Ralph Sloan & Dancers videos? That's a shame is all I know. <3

Yes!! No calorie left unburned. Great memories - I used to watch these good folks on a TV show back in the late 70s. Used to clog back then as well.

All I can say is...dam good!!!

Oh boy I love it. I've been watching a few clogging tubes and it is fantastic. Words fail me for the great feelings that these give me to see people dancing and absolutely loving it. It certainly gets the old heart racing. Butch Semmler Australia

Some say they dance this way because they put ants in their pants.

That was some dancing!

The Man on the Guitar,in the Opry Square Dance Band, Mr. Charlie Collins, passed away, a couple weeks ago,at age 78. He was a long-time member of Roy Acuff's Smokey Mountain Boys, and played with Bashful Brother Oswald,after Roy Acuff's death. he was 78.

@SthrnAllStar Couldn't have said it better!

wow..i loved that..it's nice to see some actual clogging..now a days all you see are little girls in crazy outfits that look like hookers. The boys in the video tore it up!

You can't beat good-down home buck-dancing like this :) Do ya still dance?

The song is "Sugar in the Gourd." Jimmy C. Newman, who introduced them, has been an Opry member since 1956. Earl White, the fiddler, was the last fiddler for the Crook Brothers, the last surviving original Opry members. Charlie Collins, the guitarist, worked with Roy Acuff for 25 years.

Great lyrics:)
