The Difference Between Buck Dancing And Clogging - Hillary Klug

[@Gene-dm6pm]

Thanks for teaching us about the difference between Clogging and Buck dancing ❤

[@dannyhughes4177]

Watching you buckdance is never boring. The joy and happiness that shows in your face is contageous and it just makes me feel good!

[@Thedesertguy75]

She's just awesome and in love with keeping these traditions alive. There so much terrible music today, this is a breath of fresh air!

[@YogabyNanda]

Great explanation! Wish I could see the rest of their set.

[@LehighValleyMusic]

Be sure to subscribe. We will be releasing songs from the rest of both the inside and outside set, as well as the clinic Hillary had. The dance off was actually just released the other day!

[@HeatherMizzell]

Don’t change a thing I am 85yrs old and my daddy had a friend that buck danced I never got tired of watching him when I was a kid and you are better than him and a lot prettier!❤

[@josephbaugh8281]

Great explanation Hillary

[@ssgiddyup]

That's an interesting way to put it but i mostly agree. Clogging is an entertainment style. But if it doesn't sound good with the music you're off the beat or doing something else wrong. Buck dancing has more sounds per beat, which is why it enhances the music.

[@douglashall2141]

I stand humbled. Because I previously called her dancing clogging because it resembled The ancestral Celtic dance called clogging. But buck dance is the better term for what she's doing and others around this country now. And it's enjoyable for everyone whether you're watching or actually doing it. It's great exercise as well

[@tomdephillipsdephillips4395]

Thank You Again And Again!

[@danielgardner1008]

Buck dancing is odd. My conscious brain says it should be boring yet I find it mesmerizing.

[@theroadrunnerjarhead4109]

That’s good stuff right there. Love it.

[@mirtikaschultz3282]

She is a delight to watch AND listen to. :D

Go Buck Dancing

[@RerememBerering]

I have been arguing with my old man since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Thanks for clarifying the difference and siding with me. Buck dancing is a distinct instrument all onto itself. I only wish the old codger was still around so I could show him this.

Very similar to the difference between Riverdance style Irish dancing and Sean Nos.

[@jsa-z1722]

Good explanation!

[@maitlandslater4854]

Thank you for explaining the differences between clogging and buck dancing, but what is flatfoot dancing ?

[@davebrooks6848]

Your answer to "what is flat foot",the dance and foot movement is closer to the floor.

[@maitlandslater4854]

@@davebrooks6848 So! is the Flat foot dancing footwork closer to the floor than Buck dancing ?

Very cool! Just curious if you've ever seen on youtube Miss Moonshine buck dancing videos?

[@user3141592635]

In Sweden , we have no knowing of what Buck-Dancing might be, but Polka is a known dance. I suppose it might be Irish.

[@paultharp4626]

Very cool.. all the way around

[@xsyn1636]

clogging originates in Europe and uses large motions where Buck dancing is an amalgamation of cultures in the United States among the Native Americans Europeans and Africans and uses smaller movement keeping the torso immobile and letting the arms hang loose. both dances are meant to produce percussive beats.

[@witchfindergeneral13]

I wanted see more. Darn it.

[@LehighValleyMusic]

There’s a couple more songs from her, check them out on our page.

[@peaches3182]

Well, I guess I'm a little biased. I clogged for years as a child, starting when I was abt 8, and I'll be 43 in December lol We always had ppl confuse us as square dancers and buck dancers and we'd say no, we're the better 1s- we're the cloggers! Lol It was all in good fun though😉 Nice video! #Cloggingisbetter 😂

[@JelMain]

And your buck-dancing is what we know as clog-dancing, here in East Anglia UK, or in a different style, step-dance in Wales.

[@moiraruff3292]

It's step dancing in East Anglia, as in close to the floor percussive stepping in shoes. There are archive films and modern day competitions about it. Clogs have leather uppers and wooden soles in the UK and clog dancing was once done all over, including on the music halls, but survived mainly in the north of England. It can be solo percussive stepping or team morris dancing in the north west region (Lancashire and Cheshire). Same name as American clogging, but theirs is done in hard-soled shoes.

[@JelMain]

@@moiraruff3292 I'm a purely leisure clog-wearer, Belgian gran. I'm on the EATMT mail-list, living on the outer edge of North-West London, and out-danced the resident band in a Swansea Hwyl-Nos folk evening, marrying in, so I'm not completely useless!

[@ssgiddyup]

​@@moiraruff3292Very good explanation. When the settlers brought Lancashire clog dancing to the US it became a major influence in the evolution of clogging.

[@medievalladybird394]

Seems to me that clogging in the UK is different to American clogging and most definitely older than American clogging and buckdancing. But what do I know?

[@donaldfair4259]

Since when is an event in Berks county part of the Lehigh Valley ? Just askin’ as a Berks County resident !

[@LehighValleyMusic]

The page isn’t specifically Lehigh valley, youtube limits channel name length. Hopefully we see you this year at the folk festival or fiddle fest!

[@lr4165]

I respectfully disagree. You look AND sound cool at all times!

[@TheRaghorn]

The problem today with buck dancing and clogging is that many many of these teams and single performers often use the same steps, the same rythem for almost every song they dance to. There is a reason why this lady is the champion this is clear to hear and not see. My sister who is big into these groups of people dancing with their fancy dresses going around and around and invited me to attend a meeting one weekend, and even though I can clog a little, I was so bored at doing the same thing, the same moves for every song that was played that night. It was a nightmare and all I kept hearing that night was, WE dont step like that, WE dont move like that. WE High Five others as we pass by them. REALLY???? You High 5 others??? It was the dumbest thing I had ever heard of doing. I was praying I was back in 1972 at the corner bar, watching my dad clog to Crocodile Rock by Elton John. That was 10 times as much fun. LOL.

[@maajorkv]

Buck Dancing sounds like Tap Dancing.

[@LehighValleyMusic]

Or maybe tap dancing sounds like Buck dancing?

[@wolfheart3085]

So much like River Dance!

[@alan4sure]

Aha! Now I know!

[@markpasquarella3223]

Country tap dancing😅😅

[@mrsteveinsandiego]

Buck dancing similar to tap?

[@mariekatherine5238]

Buck dancing doesn’t look as cool, but it’s more fun to do!

[@edwardantrobusjr2253]

I never thought of buck dancing as boring. I know I couldn't do it!

[@annchurchill2638]

and TAP DANCING is what?

[@LehighValleyMusic]

Not clogging or Buck dancing. I believe the proper term may be jigging, but I’m no dancing expert.

[@ssgiddyup]

Tap dance branched off from clogging at some point. It became more of a show style with very intricate steps while clogging stayed on the folk/country path. There are fancy steps but it stays on the beat of the music.

[@Alanb_69]

I guess buck dancing can take the place of any percussion in a band like this, since your feet are actually playing the percussion.

[@LehighValleyMusic]

It would seem so. It’s a great way to exercise too!

[@PeBu34]

Your video inspired me to look a little further into the subject and I found this old film about clogging and making clogging shoes in Wales from 1959. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3i1n2SOeb58jMU Thank you very much for sharing. :) Have a good time. Peter :)

Hmm how odd every clogger I've ever seen the feet are the music and I've been watching cloggers for more than 40 years.

[@frankalmeida691]

Sorry but she kills the sound of the music with the clogging, you hear her feet more than the music

[@HeatherMizzell]

Jellious!

[@Sniklers905]

Sounds like she’s disrespecting clog dancing! Why?

[@LehighValleyMusic]

I don’t think Hillary has disrespect for any kind of dancing, really. She seemed like a pretty nice girl who loved music and dancing in general.

[@Sz-lk4zq]

Даже не знал . Я думал это все степ. Хотя и степ не практикуют в России.

[@laurastuart3814]

It all comes from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

[@olwellflutes]

If "it" is the dancing she is doing in OP video, it comes from the Appalachian region of the United States, and is a hybrid of traditions from Africa, Europe, Ireland, The Caribbean, England, Scotland, and Wales, and from indigenous North American peoples.

[@laurastuart3814]

@@olwellflutes Africa?!

[@olwellflutes]

@@laurastuart3814 percussive dance traditions in the U.S. (including tap dance, clogging flatfooting, etc.) are a complicated hybrid of many dance traditions, including more than a few from enslaved people of African descent, so, yes.

[@laurastuart3814]

@@olwellflutes So no! NO and NO again.

[@MatthewOlwell]

@@laurastuart3814 I don’t understand what you mean, but if you mean that Appalachian clogging, buckdancing, and flatfooting are “from” Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales *only,* that’s just demonstrably false. If that is what you mean, I have a question for you: why cling to that idea? What do you gain by denying the influence of African, Caribbean, Native American, and African American people in American dance traditions?

Have you ever heard such unnatural overuse of the words “y’all”, sitting alongside very little of the appropriate accent. Clogging comes from the clog dancing of the North of England.
