Absolutely amazing could watch it all day long! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻Greetings from Killyglen, County Antrim.

[@DISCODAN1]

I smiled through the whole video! Thanks for posting. I wish we still danced socially like this with appropriate contact and not all sexualized! Dancing like this is inter-generational and appropriate for all ages! I wish people still recognized that there is a time and a place for everything!

[@TheClemcaster]

Actually I was just thinking how sexy the women are. When these dances took place out in the sticks, you can bet your life the population went up significantly that year. Sorry, that's life.

[@donnaarmstrong9029]

You definitely got that right Marc. I used to love square dancing and that kind of thing.

[@shevonmadden6006]

We still have dancing like this in Berea, KY 🙂 well, pre-pandemic, anyhow. Look up Contra dancing groups in your area.

[@TheFrdw]

Every city in the US has contra dancing and square dancing. If you're not doing it that's on you. If people want to dance other ways it's called freedom. Don't use clogging to diminish other dance styles.

[@salliecarlisle4874]

SUPER way to burn off some moonshine! Love the joy and smiles! Great job y'all!

[@TheSharron]

Fantastic! I hope they are all happy,healthy and dancing their hearts out.God bless them all.And...whoever recommended this to me...Thank you...

[@yellowstonekv959]

I love watching them! Had a smile on my face the whole time. 👏👏👏

[@peterbaxter7962]

Absolutely marvellous! Absolutely wonderful! It doesn’t get any better than this!!

[@r.gordontrueblood3188]

Awesome. So good to see "young folks" my age clogging the way I wish I could. Don't stop, please!

[@Feastingonadventures]

Thank you! Will do!

[@garykaufman8128]

Having the choreography set firmly in their mind is mind-boggling, and responding to the calls correctly...Whew! Outstanding!!

[@kingsavageson4879]

I think the calls are just part of the routine, especially after they know the choreography & whats coming next

[@margaretmcguire3241]

U can take the child out of art of music, but u will never take the heart of dance out of the art of music. I miss my roots! 💕🕊💕

[@redhottadame]

The music, the fine dancing, the energy, great showmanship! That bit at the end was so unexpected, very cute! I'm so glad I got to see this, thank you, from Arizona.

[@billk5727]

Outstanding!! It's great that they made it a mixer! Thanks Bill

[@missmerrily4830]

The roots of Welsh clog dancing are clear to see, but why is it that whenever any kind of dance crossed the Atlantic it became much more joyous and with a bigger following? Same thing happened with English country dance and contra and square dance!

[@joekhatib3798]

320 plus million people in US is one reason plus these communities in Appalachia were remote and cut off from much of the rest of the Country for 150 plus years because of lack of roads and resources!!! Many of these areas were opened up after World War II due to the improved transportation and communications especially TV! These people also fiercely hold on to their traditions and culture!!!

[@bobomac8330]

Trying to connect to their roots

[@michaelpalmer937]

THAT dancing is Lancashire (engliish ) when we arrived in the colonies from 15 century clog dancing, were you step forward,into the clog all the time your dancing, as they had no back straps to keep your feet in, that's why it's got that unusual dance Gate and stepping action ?..on the tips they had metal plates and hobnails in the sole to help last longer , in Lancashire England Street were alll Flint cobbles, and when a young couple went it in the evening walking there would be lots of sparks on flint stone , hence they were (..Sparking and courting ) English Mik.

[@lizardas]

That's fascinating information. Thank you for that bit of history.

[@551taylor]

The Yorkshire pit (coal mine) clogs had wooden soles and leather uppers, but they had to have non-sparking hob nails due to the fire and explosion risk. The wooden soles were to protect the feet from uneven and sharp rocks, and the open backs allowed you to slide your foot out if it got trapped. They were still in occasional use until the mines were closed in the late 20th century, and are still used in traditional clog dancing.

[@michaelpalmer937]

John Taylor Yes that's if you were working with coal dust , or were there was a risk of a violent explosion, not as a fisher woman , or shop worker , or as a farmer worker, there we're many other trades other than miners and cotton workers...so they also needed a robust working clog, with metal hob nails and clips around the shoes to afford them protection and make the clog wear much longer ? English Mik.

[@mariaotero5601]

How beautiful and amazing ❤️ love love the dance kudos!!

[@cactusflower8217]

Love this! How talented! Thanks for sharing.

[@Feastingonadventures]

Thank you very much!

[@helenbailey8419]

The joy in their faces..wonderful

[@brucelevine6517]

Their dresses were so nicely designed and colorful

[@petele345]

I'm mostly impressed how the 3 older men can move that way.

[@dianeshelley6439]

I love watching people dancing and having fun.

[@eranthys]

It was nice to see this happiness. From Europe.

[@dancewithmetanzschuleinberlin]

WOW! This is really fast foot work! Hard to dance... especially for the sweet bear bellys ,-) Great and romantic choreo with lovely dancers and dresses! Love it!

[@kevingouldrup9265]

from us old men with the beer bellies i thank you! lol

[@vickystanley8853]

Hey Lexi Mayo. Yes, it comes from the original Scots_Irish, English and Welsh settlers.

Este estilo de Danza me encantaba ver cuando Yo muchacho, felicidades amigos.

[@loisedwards8934]

Love watching you from Kenosha Wisconsin

[@happycamper5529]

Looks like a whole heck’a of a lot of fun! 😃

[@maggiemorales1019]

That’s wonderful makes me happy 😊

[@anye76]

No twerking, bouncing and shaking body parts that should not be shook and being vulgar and they are fully dressed. That's what I call nice and decent entertainment. I honestly didn't know people still danced and enjoyed this anymore. Put a smile on my face.😁

[@frankperaine7075]

Definitely absolutely great to see

[@Feastingonadventures]

Thank you!

[@СаматКадыров-р4ъ]

Каждый день так танцевать, и ни какой фитнес не нужен!!!!!👍🏼

[@rosettay7563]

Them folks can jig! Beautifully done!!

[@avenaoat]

1. Excellent American (Folk) Dance music. 2. Excellent Dancers. 3. I think the best thing, the dancers dance in MODERNISED XIXth Centurian dress. Greeting from Hungary from a Hungarian Dance Music fan. Your (mainly) Appalachian Dance Music tradition is good. You only should use (modernised) XIXth dress as these dancers did.

[@Feastingonadventures]

Thank you very much!

[@areyouavinalaff]

couldn't really follow the first couple of minutes of dialogue...but I knew the costume was great and the dancing would be too. something about it just screamed 10/10 production and by 2:50 I was smiling. absolutely love what you all did and I haven't finished watching yet. ty for posting.

[@gray3553]

Superb, does this dance have its roots in English clog dancing ?

[@johnsmith-bx4rn]

Irish step dancing

[@austinsouthward7208]

@@johnsmith-bx4rn clog dancing is centuries old English folk dance along side Morris dance still alive in Lancashire and Yorkshire

[@johnsmith-bx4rn]

@@austinsouthward7208 came from Ireland with the mass migrations of the mid 19th century

[@brucecollins4729]

@@austinsouthward7208 you are correct. this predates irish dance by about a 150 years.
