I don't think they're thinking about keeping a tradition alive. I think they're dancing for the prize money. Did you notice almost none of them even have clogs let alone performance clothes? Worn out, threadbare jeans that they shouldn't even have to wear at all let alone to compete in. Who among them is in any condition to apply for a grant? Where are the arts agencies to do some outreach and give these groups grants and buy these people shoes for heaven's sake?

[@litebrite3030]

I lived in jackson county Kentucky for a few years and my boyfriends family taught me so much , coming from Baltimore. It was definitely a different WORLD . I'm very thankful and appreciative that I got all those opportunities to learn so much . I just knew I'd be in someone's cow field if the pandemic continued farther 😂😂😂😂😂 mountain ppl are the absolute nicest ppl YOU WILL EVER MEET.

[@traumaqueen45]

Your boyfriend & his family forgot to teach you that cows aren't in the "field' but are out in the pasture.

[@kaleidoscope8743]

I have to ask just because I'm curious... Are they mountain people? Did they refer to themselves as mountain people, or you're just calling them that because you think it it's a fitting label? The reason I ask is because being "mountain people" actually is a thing and it doesn't necessarily denote friendliness. Mountain people are very secluded and live up in the most rugged parts of the mountains where the roads are treacherous and people have to do their schooling at home much of the winter. They live a very "self sufficient" life that relies on foraging and mountain medicines and growing their own food, and they might have a vehicle. Chickens and laying hens and a milk cow. They might run a still and if they do, I guarantee they aren't friendly! You don't just here walking up on anybody's house because probably you could get shot. I grew up in Appalachian Regions and lived in the East Tennessee Valley which is a valley that sits between the main Mastiffs of the Appalachians and the Cumberland plateau/ Cumberland mountains that run north/south down the middle of the state of Tennessee. I've lived in the foothills where there are 'ridges' and I heard of a moonshiner that called himself a Ridge runner but no one else ever referred to themselves that way. I've lived in Maryland I'm quite familiar with Baltimore although I actually lived but closer to Frederick which is again in the foothills on the Eastern side of the Appalachian chain. The reason I described that is to give you an idea that people who live in the Foothills and Valleys are not technically mountain people. mountain people live right up in the most rugged parts of the mountains and when they speak English you cannit understand it. I mean it sounds like another language because a lot of them were Scottish and their Scottish broke and they speak a broken English that's a mixture of English words and Scottish words. They were pretty isolated for decades and decades because they lived right in amongst the most remote and hostile portions of the Cherokee tribes. Cherokee are depicted as the most advanced and developed tribal society ... and while that's true, it's also true they were among the most savage warriors ... brave and merciless if they believed it called for it. Mountain people don't come to town very often if ever at all. If you were in/near a town and people had municipal facilities (town hall, elected council-members, possibly even a constibulary or sheriff, even if unincorporated ) those aren't technically mountain people. So people living in the foothills does not constitute "mountain people". Unless they referred to themselves as mountain people. Maybe things are a little different in Kentucky?

[@BROUBoomer]

@@kaleidoscope8743 Hi, Your description is right. My father's side of the family came from the mountains in NC, just over the VA line. We lived in Richmond, I'm first generation born off mountain since 1740. When we went to visit Great-grandmother and the rest of the family we called it going up on the mountain to visit Great-grandmother. But we never called them mountain people, just the mountain side of the family. It was just Daddy's family up on the mountain. The town is named after my family, we named it when we got the land grant from the king. Last time I was up there they still only had a small general store with one gas pump, and a feed and tractor supply store half a mile down the road, and a church. But that was 1982. I'm financially challenged, I can't afford to go visit. Most great aunts and uncles have passed on, I don't know much of the next generation. But most everyone in the town is a relative of some sort; most of the county too. That's why I was born in Richmond, fresh blood. Up there all I had to do when I was tiny was say my name and my lineage, and people knew who I was, and if they were related to me. Sweet memories. But we never called them mountain people. On that you are correct. Maybe because technically they are in the foothills of the mountains. I still needed to chew gum when I visited to pop my ears though, they were that high up. I remember Cherokee was a little while away to go visit. And Daddy driving narrow roads through the fog so dense you couldn't see the end of the hood of the car. But if you looked out of the side window you could see down the side of the mountain, inches away from the car. Scary stuff, I'd never drive it. Half the time Daddy opened the car door to navigate the road, fog stopped half way down the car. Kept us from rolling down the cliff. Momma watched the wall side of the road down the window, and I watched the cliff side. That's another reason I don't go back to visit. I had a 2nd cousin roll her jeep down a hill off the road, lived to tell about it though. You have to know when to drop the car into second gear to save the brakes going down hill, even in an automatic. I wish when we were younger I would have taken my husband up to meet the mountain side of my family. It's too late now. He'll meet them on the other side. A friend of mine in Richmond tried to teach me how to flatfoot dance. A bunch of us girls went on lady's night for free. Dancing to the jukebox before the band arrived. I thought I was doing good. She told me to quit looking at my feet, I looked up, and then I was on my bum on the floor. I had heels on, she had me take them off to learn, stocking feet are slick. So I can't say I really learned how to flatfoot, but I tried. I appreciate the people in the video keeping tradition alive and well. I live in Central Florida now, there's no real traditions here. Just a bunch of people from somewhere else living here. Very few generational Floridians around here. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day.👵🙂✌️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊 🌎☮️

I don’t know what kind of dancing most of the contestants were doing, but finally got to see some great flatfootin’ with the final two contestants.

[@laduke9876]

Loved it! Makes me miss Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival!

[@bettyburke5962]

Great video, brought back memories when I did the flatfoot with my hubby, years ago, still makes me wish I could still do it.

All very good, but Jed Clampett on the Beverly Hillbillies is the best.

[@klswalker5985]

These dances were done for years in our family... Its sad that I never learned how myself.

[@knighttuttruptuttrup8518]

You gotta good point there.

[@kaleidoscope8743]

@@klswalker5985 go to some shindigs. People will teach you. The thing is you can have fun just doing the basic step. And once you've got the basic step, you can add on other steps, little-by-little, just by watching what other people do. You cannot judge somebody in tight teach me that step you're doing. And I think if you're around a legendaria there are people who will classes.

[@kaleidoscope8743]

Oh Buddy Ebson ... wasn't that his name?

[@janr4726]

Buddy Epson was a tap dancer; this is flat foot style. They are different styles of dancing.

[@marinefeinberg6700]

Learned something tonight ! Never heard of flatfoot dance ..Wow, looks like fun !

[@MasterofScrutiny]

Besides the great dancing, I loved all the long braids.

[@DaydreamerFishing]

I really like watching different cultures. You can see the Irish influence in this dancing. It must have been brought to the country and developed from there.

[@traumaqueen45]

Flatfooting came from the Appalachian Native Americans > 300 years ago - which is long before the Irish immigrated to the US.

[@thinkaboutit3366]

Thank u for this genuine entertainment 👍

[@debrapalermo3023]

I just happened across this and ended up flatfooting around my kitchen! What fun!

[@MikeSmith-su8ee]

Number 16 was really good.

[@sandygarcia6684]

Well... lololol. I have never tried this myself but it looks like fun! No matter how hard I try to stop my feet keep moving!
