Cannot stop looking at this Vid,I am in Awe at these terrific dancers,a credit to the Appalachian stye of dance,this is not flavour of the month, this will continue for decades to come,I am from the UK England,Suffolk, 75 years young,been teaching my self this way of dancing, through Vids on UTUBE, Just love Appalachian music and dance, they don't have compertions here,think I am probably the only one in Suffolk that does it,keeping the tradition alive. Kind regards to you all Dave

[@audkarinen6875]

I read someplace that because of the remoteness of Appalachia they were able to keep the culture they brought with them pure

[@travcat66]

Look up Clog dance 1959 BFI National Archive its a wonderful old film

[@amandagregg9368]

The tune is "John Brown's Dream"

[@graciemaye6381]

The thing about the percussive dances is you have to have a musician's ear, you are literally the percussion of the music. Pay attention with your ears the most. You are literally a drummer with the feet.

[@nanners829]

That was fun to watch. To quote Oprah, you get a prize and you get a prize, etc etc etc

[@DeirdreB-fu1qb]

I never grew up around this kind of dancing at all but really just love it !! Wished I'd grown up in a small town up in the mountains ☺😍

[@sandrahealey6385]

I love this soooo much, I'm a 4th generation Irish Australian. With no culture whatsoever!! We didn't dance, except to the tune of others!!! This is such a beautiful thing to see, what happened here to make us all so.... European 😭 Love these videos, long time watch, first time comment! Love from Tasmania ❤️

[@cathoderaytube7497]

You're Irish and Australian and 4th generation, so yes you do 👍 have culture. Don't shortchange yourself. ❤️Love from Texas.

[@debrapaulino918]

This is what busy kids need 🙂. Put the energy into something fun.

[@illegalsmirf]

lol that's why your music is so good, you have no culture so you put all your heart and soul in the music and dancing. A lot of these people can't even read.

[@oldjoeclarke.]

@@illegalsmirf What! "you have no culture so you put all your heart and soul in the music and dancing" Music and dance is culture and has been for so many thousands of years. "A lot of these people can't even read" wow! what an arrogant thing to say.

[@MrJking065]

If you come to Boone North Carolina Look at staying at my cousins Motel at the foot of Grandfather Mountain. Hidden Valley Motel. It is a cute little place. They have turned into into a cozy little place. Jim and Maxine will take Great care of you. Tell Them Cousin' Jerry Sent Ya!

[@JustAThought155]

Beautiful people. Beautiful nation. Beautiful culture. It is a pity that today those same people do not feel respect for that culture.

I can hear mule skinner in the background

[@debrapaulino918]

Smokey Mountains! You had to come up with fun after coming out of the mines!

[@debrapaulino918]

Same folks that gave us spoon clicking and washboards. When yo po yo don't whine. You use what you got. Urban Stomp dancers.

[@jameswallace3043]

I love the Appalachian stomp isn't this great

[@edpowell5754]

I'm from Buffalo, New York and an old Rock n Roll guy from the 1970's. I sure enough was getting into it, WOW! Can you dig it? I don't really know, but for some reason I'm really appreciating the talent, both the Music n the (Clogging) Dancing. I guess I'm just hip to it. Again, can you dig it man?

[@debrapaulino918]

Ya man dig'n it ☺️💕. Who wants urban anything ever again! Rolling Stones?! Get off my cloud!

[@cattycorner8]

I believe I saw Asa Nelson in another competittion when her was younger. I thought he was great then, but now- wow!

[@fandude7]

[@theawesomeharveygogangbroo9443]

First contested Nathen Nelson,?has in proved so much,nice moves,awesome man Dave Uk

[@jaimecaceres1621]

You can feel the cultivated fields, the mountains, the forests. Also that pride, dignity and that love for freedom that characterizes them. The best nation, the best people. People with music in their soul. People who can grow corn and can also reach the moon. Wonderful! They are the envy of the rest of the world. What surprises me is because they don't have love for theirs? Today almost everyone wants to be. Socialists. Blacks Natives . And be on your knees in front of those who don't love them. I honestly don't get it.

[@DodiTov]

Jaime my dear, there are millions of us. We "don't count" because we don't live in the big cities, so "they" forget about us. What they do not realize is that we feed them. And the day will come...when we don't. But we will still be here when they are long gone. Let them dream of nonsense and one day they will come to realize that socialism is merely empty promises. That is something that we "forgotten" "don't count" people know all too well. Never fear, we will still be here when "they" are long gone.

[@jaimecaceres1621]

@@DodiTov God bless you all. They are people of whom God is proud. Decent people, proud people, prosperous and hard-working people. people of faith That is why you are envied. Take care and protect what you have, because no one else has it.

[@gloriam.bordenoak6282]

Cello keep playing it Jan would love it

[@joandeschamps6790]

I enjoyed the music and dance competition, but I'd like to know who won. (The video of last year's competition identified the winners by name and the "time" of their appearance in the video. This was in text beneath the CinemaScopeXXX avatar.) Was there a 12th Annual competition this year "pre-COVID-19" and is there a video of it?

[@nancyhowden1677]

I love fiddle music
