I find this all endlessly fascinating and entertaining, and at times hilarious

No tap dancing without clog dancing?

apparently not: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_dance#History

Tap dance has roots in African American dancing such as the Juba Dance, English Lancashire Clog dancing,[1] and probably most notably Irish stepdancing. It is believed to have begun in the mid-1800s during the rise of minstrel shows. White performers would imitate Southern blacks and satirize their dance forms while incorporating step-dancing. In later minstrel shows, black performers in blackface would play roles in which they imitated the Irish imitation of black dance forms, further mixing the two. Famous as Master Juba, William Henry Lane became one of the few black performers to join an otherwise white minstrel troupe, and is widely considered to be the most famous forebear of tap dance.

I didn't know they did this in the US

I hadn't heard of it until the Riverdance boom, when my wife was basically all "this is cool and everything but it's just clogging where ppl don't move their arms" and then I found out about her secret clogging past

Ouch

ARGH.

Anyway it will surprise no one that I adore clogging and its Appalachian variant, flat-footing. If I could get videos to embed AT ALL I would post my favorite flat-footing vids for you.

xp: L, it's the URL format; in order to embed, the beginning of the URL has to look like this (without spaces)

http: //www.youtube.com/watch? v=[youtube video id]

Thank you, but where do I find the video "id"? Neither the url of the page nor the "Share" tab offer anything in that format...?

I took a clogging class for like a second, a couple of years ago. I'm handicapped because you make the sounds by landing from a jump (or skip or whatever) on the beat, but highland is the opposite: you have to be at the apex of your jump in the air, on the beat so my reactions are all wrong.

seeing this thread title + who the thread starter was, I thought this thread was going to be about a new version of butt chugging

That adorable old man with the headband hearing-aid it Tommy Jarrell btw!

There's a flatfooting documentary called Talking Feet available on Folkstreams: http://www.folkstreams.net/film,121

Super good! Try it!

Yeah irish dancing is basically tap without the sex or any need for special shoes, is my experience

i don't have to be fair, i'm *right* (darraghmac), Tuesday, 5 March 2013 17:01 (twelve years ago)

There are some lanky dudes in the Blue Ridge Mountain Dancers.

Thank you, but where do I find the video "id"? Neither the url of the page nor the "Share" tab offer anything in that format...?

The video ID is the alphanumeric string that follows the "v=" parameter in the URL; for the video you were initially trying to post, the video id is QmJj6LZogms

"Bellini." (DJP), Tuesday, 5 March 2013 17:14 (twelve years ago)

Oh, I finally found it. I got to the video from a fb link, I think that made the url messed up originally.

i knew laurel would be all over this thread, but i didn't expect her to be dropping Tommy Jarrell's name.

i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Tuesday, 5 March 2013 17:41 (twelve years ago)

I bet this is not what Dan expected from this thread, tho! I used to be transfixed by team clogging but now it kinda puts me off--partly I think because I don't really like the dance when it's separated from the traditional music. I like the loose-limbed extemporaneous style with fiddle and banjo and stuff.

Allardyce for team clogging

i don't have to be fair, i'm *right* (darraghmac), Tuesday, 5 March 2013 17:58 (twelve years ago)

lol L I know you post here, this is almost exactly what I expected from this thread!

"Bellini." (DJP), Tuesday, 5 March 2013 18:10 (twelve years ago)

Dust To Digital put out a great film about Thomas Maupin called Let Your Feet Do The Talkin'. It's about buck dancing, which they describe as improv clogging, so belongs here I think.

How has nobody mentioned Jesco the Outlaw dancer?\

Also, someone kill me because the first thing I thought of when I saw this title was a line about clogging from the Tenacious D skit show.

x-post Outlaw Dancer, Dancing Outlaw - whatever, it's been a long day. If you haven't seen that documentary I'd recommend it. It's great.

Buck dance and flatfooting and clogging are pretty much the same thing done in different styles. It seems like they're been differentiated by young people who wanted to take them in different directions (like how team clogging is very different from the older form now), but in Talking Feet, the oldest people interviewed use the terms as more or less interchangeable. So bring it on.

Uh see also "precision clogging."

Extreme clogging

jesco white wiki was the first thing i posted to laurel's facebook post about flatfooting tbh.

i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Tuesday, 5 March 2013 21:21 (twelve years ago)

Ayuh. Which I returned with D Ray White, Jesco's dad, who gets a whole big section in Talking Feet too.
