- There are many styles of "folk" dancing, particularly throughout the South. The differences among clogging, flatfoot, and others are demonstrated by Overall Creek.
Maurine, Rothwell and Overall Creek are national “buckdancing” champions. Buckdancing, a form of solo percussive dancing is uniquely American but has influences from traditional European, African, and Native American dances. Although often confused with clogging and tapdancing, buckdancing predates both styles. Thomas Maupin is six-time national champion in Old-Time Buckdancing. His grandson, Daniel Rothwell, is an award winning banjo player. They have performed widely including the Grand Ole Opry, Merlefest, and the National Folk Festival.

Great music and some very fancy footwork! I love it that the dancers become part of the music.
So glad he explained the difference between flat foot and buck dancing. Never was sure.

Didn't notice, I was watching him pick that banjo with no picks!!! My daddy taught me to buck dance when I was about seven. I can still cut a rug at 57. Keep it up. Those roots run deep, right thru my soul.
Obviously you don't understand Appalachian mountain talk, I suggest you get yourself educated in it
