ABOUT FLAT-FOOTING:

Flat-Foot dancing is a rhythmic individual percussive step dance originating out of the Appalachian mountain range. Chugs, steps, brushes, and scuffs are used to produce sounds that are in time with the music, often old time fiddle tunes. It’s closely related to Buck dancing and often goes by other names such as Appalachian Clogging, Clogging, or Back Stepping. I use the term Flat-footing the most because that is what they called it where I learned most of my steps. I have won several awards for my old-time flat-foot style of dance. Flat-footers can be found at almost any fiddle convention, music jams, and dances throughout the Appalachian Mountains. Normally takes 2 to 3 lessons to learn the basics. I teach students using a method I developed myself known as Progressive Transition Strategy. This method starts the student off with very simple steps and increasingly integrates more complex steps. By the end of the class a student has normally learned 7-9 steps and how to do transitions. Through over 1000 students I found people learn faster, retain more, and have more fun using this method. My students have options to learn from me in several different ways:

1. By my beginners instructional DVD video.
2. Through a scheduled private class in the Asheville area.
3. At a scheduled public class in the Asheville area.
4. Through a scheduled private class in your area.
5. As part of a weekend dance camp or fiddle convention.
6. As part of a weeklong dance camp.

For people at a distance I offer my instructional DVD video designed for beginners. It has 8 basic moves and shows you how to do transitions. It’s available through the mail for $15 dollars. A new DVD instructional video featuring old time Flat-footer Charlie Burton from Kentucky is now available. Charlie learned his first steps in Kentucky from his dad growing up. I learned several steps from him which is now part of my routine. Cost is $20.
--------------
I have a large collection of dance shoes (leather bottoms) in men's or women's that are excellent for general dancing or flat-footing. Most for $10-$15 dollars.
--------------
Flat-foot performances with live music are available for your next family reunion or gathering. Call or write for details.
--------------
Portable raised 24 x 32 in dance boards are now in stock. The raised height gives them some of that deeper sound and a gentle spring/bounce to them keeps you dancing longer. Prices $25 to $35 dollars.
