Flatfooting is a unique style of percussive dance that originated in the southern Appalachian hills and valleys. This dance style is a blend of Native American, African, and African-American cultures with the folk dance traditions of the British Isles. It is danced to lively Old Time Appalachian fiddle and banjo music.
We’ll explore some basic steps like chugs, slides, the Tennessee Walking Step, and combine them into rhythmic phrases. It’s a lot of fun for folks of all ages—from kids to grandparents. Here’s a little taste of the foot-tappin’ fun! CLICK HERE
Instructor Linda Wickenden has taught Appalachian clogging and flatfooting for many years. She has performed throughout Vermont and competed as a musician and dancer at the West Virginia Appalachian String Band Music Festival (known as “Clifftop”).
A free event offered in partnership with the Isle La Motte Recreation Department. Light refreshments will be served after the workshop, courtesy of the ILM Recreation Department.
