[@KeyWestBluesX]

whats the difference between flatfooting and clogging? i think clogging puts more emphasis on the higher lifting and downstroke

[@chinnmusic]

I have tremendous respect for Irish step dancers and it sure is not the same as Irish step dancing but just in case you don’t know; this is pure mountain dancing, derived from the Scots Irish who settled in the Appalachian Mountains long ago. The upper body movements (which cannot be seen in this video) are not restricted by staying stiff and without movement but moves in the glorious rhythms of the music and is pure 100% American genre. By the way, your grammar and writing really needs work.
