The fact that this was written 9 months ago and we're still/again at home has some sad truth

[@krazykittymatt]

As a Texan, I can say that this is exactly what we do at every hoedown and hootenanny

[@XxMadAboutPotterxX]

What’s a hootenanny? Lol

[@Indigoqueer]

A hootenanny is an adhoc hoedown that is smaller and more disorganized. It is also what we call German pancakes in the Midwest. I have no idea why.

[@Gamer-girl332]

I love that place

What part of Texas. As a Texan myself I have never seen the cotton eyed Joe done this way. I've seen dancer dance like that but don't dress that way. In fact a friend of mine is in a group that swing dance like this

[@kateg7298]

As a Texan, I have to say that this was phenomenal. It's not what we would do but it was beautifully choreographed and the dancers looked like they were having a blast.

[@AlexandriaHearn]

Unpopular opinion from an American: I ADORE this, especially because it isn’t the cringey dance kids do at school dances but actual ballroom and it’s fun and new. They’re English, they’re using the stereotype to have fun on a dancing show. It’s amazing and they’re all phenomenal and talented

I had a blast line dancing, circle dancing and square dancing in school. I was raised in the North and always loved this part of the US's history. I got a chance to experience it and was worth every sweat breakin, heart pumping minute. ❤️

Psh. Please.

[@nickydaviesnsdpharms3084]

Americans pronounce some words wrongly for example you say ''udder'' instead of ''utter'' now i would have no way of knowing if you meant the thing cows have that milk comes from or if you meant uttering a word

[@goldenwitherphoenix1389]

@@nickydaviesnsdpharms3084 Oof.

[@JeantheSecond]

Nicky Davies I can’t imagine ever having a problem with confusing the two, since sentences with the word “udder” are very different than ones with “utter”.

[@julierains2578]

I love everything about this interpretation of "cotton eyed Joe". I am a college educated "hillbilly" from southern Missouri. I love classical music but I also like this. It represents, to me, the hard working independent settlers of our area who enjoyed life in whatever spare time they had.

[@davemathews7890]

"Hillbilly" and "educated" in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

[@dragonmaster4429]

I've been a Texan for 70 years and have never seen the Cotton Eye Joe done like this! But, it was very entertaining! If course we thought all the British were like something out of a recency novel! Or Downton Abby! It's all fun! Loved the arrangement!

[@jacksonhaslam2753]

Everyone is commenting on the dancers and British people's perception of Americans. Why is nobody taking notice of how amazing that one guy is with his lasso?!

[@artimas23]

Yeah how he kept up the the professional dancers and that laso work damb he is good great professional dance

[@SkyArmyGeneral100]

what other people think how Texas/ Alabama has parties

[@Itsrae486]

Oh yeah all Southerns dress like that . The only sad thing about this they don't even try to sound southern.

[@whatRU5]

I know. It's ridiculous. There are many southern traditions that are very valued. it's just sad to see the world take those valued traditions and make a joke out of them.

[@spongeeey9963]

Ayleen Ahumada No one dresses like the girls did...

[@Paige-pk8dr]

St Jimmy I know I was going to say that I really hope no one in England actually thinks people from the south are like that. I'm from Ohio and I know that it's just a stereotype

[@christina-df4sx]

I'm from Texas and I can tell you no one dresses like that unless it's rodeo time and girls don't dress like that period maybe the boots buts that's it

[@brendaokuda2158]

As a Texan, I'm left wondering where the actual Cotton Eyed Joe dance is..... This was great, but it's definitely not Cotton Eyed Joe.

[@taylorwickham]

My thoughts exactly. This dance could have been to anything

[@aleciaforrester161]

Yeap, used to dance Cotton Eyed Joe every Friday and sat night... country dance floor was the best workout ever 💃 🕺

[@flowerfaerie8931]

Same lmao. Like this is really good and all, but it also absolutely is not the usual line dance done to this song.

[@julievanderleest]

It was fun to watch but yeah I agree, not the traditional style. This was British though, they hardly know country the way we do. Cotton Eyed Joe isn’t exactly their forte.

[@WyattRyeSway]

My thoughts too but this is Great Britain so they must not know it? Idk. Kind of insulting to Texas and people that know this dance though really.

[@abigailwildlife1322]

[@katherinebrown7182]

All of my Southern grand aunts probably just rolled in their graves knowing this is how their British (very distant) relatives think they lived 😂

[@belkyb14]

🤣

[@torinjones3221]

@JW McCabe Only 10% of Americas population has 'British' origins, British being a bad term as there is no internationally recognised 'British' ethnicity. To put it plainly 'British' people do not exist your either Welsh, Scottish or English. To expand on the 'distant relatives' 16% of Americans are German origins and 44% are Eastern European. There is no 'Anglo-American' connection as people with even a hint of English origins make up a tiny minority of America's population. The only similarity between the two nationalities is they both kinda speak the same language and even then the number of English speakers in America is shrinking and Spanish is set to be the dominant language within 20-30 years. So no the British and Americans are not even distant relatives infact the USA and Russia are more closely related and The UK is more closely related to Iceland (via Denmark)

[@han-oq6bo]

@@torinjones3221aren't the English also german origin? The Germanic saxons pushed the natives to the fringes (Scotland, Wales and Cornwall)

Kevin's dancing just makes me smile in this! You can see how much fun he's having! But then again, you can see how much fun they are all having!

[@jewessartemis7948]

As an American (well, New York isn't exactly hoe-down central), I have to say I am incredibly impressed with this performance. When someone creates this amazing work, I'm not at all upset that this is how Americans are viewed. The Lindy Hop was fun to watch, everyone was having a good time, and the choreography/execution was impeccable (accent at the beginning could use some work, though). Great work, SCD!

[@OurGodReigns]

Oh!! They're gooooood!!! This is when everything - band, singers, costume, set and dancers all work together to create a thing of joy and precision, punch and beauty!!!!!!
