Fiddle 'n' Feet are an Appalachian dance group, based in Shipley. Their style of dancing originates in the American Appalachian mountains. It's different from morris, in some ways more akin to Irish or Scottish dance. It involves an energetic tap dancing style, on a board that allows the taps to be heard, accompanied by lively fiddle music. It seems to get everyone around tapping their feet too.
Hi Jenny - what a fun show to be able to see ... and how interesting. One day I'd love to visit the Appalachians ... it looks just lovely - so cheering ... all the best - it's soaking down here! Hilary

In our North Carolina mountains, this dance is called clogging.
ReplyDeleteI like to watch and hear tap dancing.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see Appalachian dancing over there. Their dress is much simpler than other dance groups, probably reflecting the simpler American styles.
ReplyDeleteClogging and/or flat footing are what I've heard this dance style called.
