I reaaallly like this grandma doing flat foot dance~ (from documentary "Talking Feet" 1987 )

Flatfoot dancing is a variation of the clogging the Scots-Irish brought over to Appalachia and eventually into the Ozarks. When you didn’t have TV this is what you learned to dance! Iff’n it weren’t against Yur religion!

I am Irish my people were sent to this country (Georgia) by the Queen as political prisoners and they kept all the old dancing and music,I really miss the old family gatherings and the music and dancing, my grandfather was a great dancer.

Used to love to watch my mother flat foot. When her shoes came off, watch out!! ❤️

[@susandrydenhenderson6234]

Scot’s Irish don’t do clogging and most Appalachian people aren’t from there. It’s Northern English and that’s where you are from. However, those northern English borders people did in ancient times move in a band across northern Ireland and the English Scottish borders.

Have you ever wondered why there are no drums in American folk music even though Americans love a percussive rhythm?

My grandfather called it Back step, & his style was similar to hers. ❤
