Talking Feet: Solo Southern Dance: Buck, Flatfoot, and Tap
- Used Book in Good Condition
Compiled by musician/folklorist Mike Seeger and dancer Ruth Pershing, Talking Feet introduces us to dancers from the Appalachian, Piedmont, and Blue Ridge Mountain regions of the South. In its various formsâ€”flatfooting, buckdancing, hoedown, rural tap or cloggingâ€”Southern dancing involves a great deal of personal style and innovation as dancers create the rhythm of old-time country musicâ€”talking blues, bluegrass, hand-patting and western swing. Traditionally, people have danced at corn shuckings, apron hemmings, weddings, and house parties. Nowadays, clog dancers compete at festivals and competitions. Talking Feet is a precious record of the experience of old-timers and an inspiration to younger enthusiasts who want to absorb the tradition and make it their own.
