Thank you, Miss Moonshine...I'm think 2021 will be the year I learn how to Flatfoot!! Or, is it Buckdanceing? Haha! What do I know...I'm just an old belly dancer who dances to any music, especially jazz, flamenco, and well, nearly anything with a good rhythm.....but NOT hard rock...that stuff is poison to my soul! 😆
there are lessons i’ve posted, see link in description
Outlaw.
Why are human animals so clever?
That was awesome! You had me tapping my feet and clapping my hands. Love from England. 🏴
An Ancient Mariner Yeaaah, Love from Denmark too!!!!
the same here..regards from Germany
Love you Miss Moonshine, although if you lived here in Ireland we'd have to call you Miss Poitin. 🇮🇪
I’m tapping my feet as well, but I’m sitting on my bed. Love the lady Ms Moonshine ❤
Who does not feel good listening and watching?
Happy music.
Thumbs up from Scotland
Scottish grass is awesome
This music makes me very happy. Beautiful American culture! Greetings from Argentina.
Sehr Gut Kameraten ! Essen und Whiskey !
This culture was bought over by the Irish. This kind of music is still played there today!
@Uncle Gilbert The origins of traditional Irish music is well documented and is widely known to have originated over 2000 years ago. That was before any English came to America.
@@michaelbreslin2403 English traditional music was also around at that time!! Before any white people went to america
this particular tune was composed by a Cajun american - Balfa
I'm a hard rock guy, but I love this stuff too. This is good old fashioned talent, not the pure garbage on the radio today. That lady in green is really enjoying herself, nice and relaxed.
And that is so good to see.
This here takes more skill to play then to be in a marching band god bless the fiddlers
I like almost all sorts of music. From this country music, old time music, to even a bit of jazz. Jazz the least as it 'wanders' off the melody too much for me. I even like country, gospel, rock, rap.
The band seems to light up a little when she started dancing.
Another miserable boomer who can't praise something without complaining about life "today".
not heard better better anywhere !......that little gal flatfootin has it down don't she!...East Tennessee here, KEEP FIDDLING GIRL'S!! ....awesome!
Western North Carolina...love it...!!!
"Little Gal" is from Georgia, via NY

It's all wonderful! Love the Dancing and the music. From Scotland
Encore!
A major portion of the roots of this 'American' music came from Scotland! As did my family in 1750.
Norther Ireland, Ulster Scots!
@@TheBelmontBluesMan Ireland
@@bobbythompson3544 came from Ireland , they still dance like this today , you want find anything like this from ulster scots in ulster
It reminds me of when I was a kid mom and dad would move the furniture out of the way and the whole family would dance to whatever. Damn life was so simple no cell phone no computer and we still had a blast.
Sure we all believe you lol
@@tomakafrankconlon3207 hahahaha!
@Frank Colon Are you serious? I think we need to see more of this. It is the musical history of America. I'd like to see music and dance from all over the US.
It almost seems the dancer is floating at times. Great music too!
I grew up like that in Canada too
If that doesn’t induce happy feet nothing will!!!
I'm tapping my foot
This just made my day!! Well play and danced. The banjo mando is added cherry on top.
Sounds so good when they start off, have to admit there’s something about a dancer engaging on percussion that completes it.
My great uncle born in 1898 would play his fiddle, but the the hobnail boots would start up on the wood. Just made you lean into it.
This would go down a storm at an Irish music festival ! (Fleadh Cheoil)
Chick's got calves! Thank you everyone for this heartwarming piece... Makes me want to sit down and listen....... In between my times of dancing 😉😊❤
This music and dancing makes me smile really big. Guess it's my ancestors inside stirring me up.
My ancestors are Irish. When I hear music like this I don't just smile, I'm up and as we say from the bay in Newfoundland, I step it out. Self taught from watching my father step it out. Sorry, a smile doesn't cut it. A minimum of tapping your feet while sitting and making an attempt while standing, lol. Good luck
Brilliant traditional style music with all the purity and a great dancer awesome viewing from Northern Ireland greatly appreciated ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Some ladies wear their shoes out, and some ladies wear out their shoes. ; )
Nico vav wyk
I love it, greetings from Australia.
Add me to that. Fine playing and dancing!
This just made my night. Take me away to a place where I magically dance like this and the music is always going!
so sweet a thought
I live in Ontario Canada , and grew up camping in the eighties , my father played in all the old time fiddle contests , in hensall , petrolia , shellBourne and others , I was lucky to grow up and experience this exact thing , to bad you don't see this much anymore
do you have some footage of those fests?
Sorry , no cellphones back then , and only a few pictures and memories ! Thankyou for carrying on this tradition !
Your movements are so fluid, so beautiful and you make it look so effortless, but we, all of your fans, know that to watch you dance, is to watch pure talent and grace!
Guess that's what they mean when saying 'fit as a fiddle'go the buck dancer glad I clicked on it 😂😂
Hey - that'd even make a Dutch Reformed Minister dance!
Love it! Fascinating that the music and dancing appears to be a fusion of Irish, Scots & Northern English and it's morphed into this wonderful music and dancing.
The dancing you referenced is called the "Barnyard Shuffle" I'm from Kentucky that's what the old folks called it. Its actually hard to do requires great cardio.
Yea I live in Northern England of Scottish Irish descent and have travelled both Ireland and Scotland (lot of music pubs) and I can see where American folk music originates .
Yes Sir, my ancestors came from the same areas as yours. Born in Kentucky, a lot of the mountain people there play that kind of music.
The Scots Irish brought it over here in the mid-1700's. People from that era brought their music, and because of isolation, has changed a little, but not a lot.
@@michellekosek1721 Yes I'm aware of that as my ancestors came from that part of the world.
Wow, that music you just wanna move to it 🥰🥰🥰
No matter how much you hear it or see it, you cannot tire it even if you hear it a million times
Really, REALLY?
@@anthonytaylor9232 Sure, couple of times and then a break.
You should go to a bluegrass festival. It's very Zen.
@@harrymills2770 A Guy once told me, "if you have a Banjo, the Best way to make money is, Threaten to Play it !
Peace
Makes you jus wanna get up and start Dancin......
My great granny used to do that dance. What sweet memories for me. You folks are great.
What a wonderful memory. Thanks for sharing. How did she dress when she did the Buck Dance?
Mee Maw dressed in a moo moo
Mt airey down the road from my late pa god bless country music apalachian style
God didn’t see fit to give me any talent toward singing, dancing or playing music on any instrument. But he did bless me with this little bitty phone so I could listen and watch others who are blessed.
Allen Waldrop- that is one of the coolest comments I've ever read. You are blessed, indeed!
Wait - this is the Scottish and Irish music I grew up with
The track gets lively when the foot tapping takes off. Brilliant piece. Great musicians and dancer too.
THanks, Quentin. What kinds guitar do you play?
Brilliant, loved it, the woman doing the tap, fantastic!
This is called Buck Dancing, I believe. Very similar to tap dancing, with older European roots.
ooweeeeeeee!!!!!!!! That gal sure is light on her feet!!!!
Her calves look like bowling pins... Work em out..
About 120 lb.
I kept waiting to see that donkey lol
So reminds me of Bluegrass Festival that's in Winfeild Kansas every year! People comes every year from all over the country, n plays together in the camp grounds. Have 4 stages in grandstand area that top groups ,bluegrass play. So much fun. N it's family originated. It's a blast, so friendly!!
She is marvellous.
I just love these old fiddle tunes. The strumer must get ribbon for her steady going. Now I know you guys.
why haven't you subscribed then?
love it, puts a big smile on my face.. what is this tune called.
Indian on a stump Dewey Balfa did this one
You too dumb to read the intro?
Why be nasty, Case?
Classic americana baby! So nice and easy on the ears
The best buck dancing I have ever seen. She was so "on beat" that it was like adding a fifth instrument to the band.
the best comment a buckdancer could have! thanks!
I'm a Newbie, absolutely Love this !! Thank you all !!!!
Absolutely! Real musicality in your work. Different tones from Miss Moonshine enhances the group. Well done!
@@MissMoonshineDance It's true. I thought the very same thing!
If you close your eyes it is very true. 5th instrument..
the dancer is incredible.
thanks, it was a good rhythm to dance to
@@MissMoonshineDance good rhythm? I thought I could dance until I saw how effortless you made it look, and brightened my day! much love, Miss Moonshine, & you'll dance in my times; Stuartx
we can all dance. thanks for the visit
That’s some mean footwork and fiddle playing
Wow! These folks are in the zone and killing it. So good...so in sync. Beautiful.
miss moonshine is so pretty!
there we go, now they're smiling - that's the pickin and grinnin I came for
From New Zealand - just love this piece. The music is great and miss moonshine your dancing is fantastic, you make it look so easy.
You like our “freedoms” here huh? There at risk temporaraly. Glad to have you sir
I've lived in TN my entire life and i never knew Tennessee clogging was a thing
Them there freedoms, yes those who think they walk on water believe only their ideas of freeDom are real freedoms. Like music it is different
That lady was tops on buckdancing.
What has happened to my life? I used to be cool. There were others. We did things.
you have music Richard. You have memories to savour and imagination to create your post-pandemic life. If you're anywhere near woodland spend some time there and give thanks. The pandemic will pass in time and we will enter a new normal.
Haha! Good one! I am too told to do things now! haha
I hear ya...
Miss Moonshine - what a woman - ‘ nuff said !!
Its impossible to watch this and not be smiling.
I'm a Cajun down here in Louisiana, love the tapping and the fiddle. God bless y'all, keep up the beautiful harmony.
Hello to you. My best wishes to a real Cajun person. Love and peace from Yorkshire England.
Balfa's tune!
This does my heart good with all that is going on in the US. GOD please bless and protect this country...that is full of great Americans like these in the video!
You`re on Drugs. This makes me want to run around bare foot chasing chickens & roll around in a pig pen full of shit !!!
@@thegman00 Who are you kidding? You do that anyway. As if you needed musical accompaniment for an excuse...
This is worth fighting for
Bunch of goddamned idiots to be politicizing music and musicians. Pretty much you are about as UNAmerican as it gets if you consider yourself to be something more than others. Go look up the word community.
We are, all of us, Americans, and that ONLY if we do not judge our fellow citizens. I am in Kentucky right now and I see some of the most sophisticated equipment in the world every day that allows you guys to get your devices delivered to you quickly. Y'all have no clue what it took to get this nation to this point if you are traipsing around pissing and moaning and looking for someone to blame for some imagined problem. Like Rodney King said... "Why can't we all get along?"
@@cosmicraysshotsintothelight sorry Gar, but YOU just judged others by calling me, us, we, “IDIOTS”. You lose.
Does anyone have a video showing how to do these steps. Even just the basic step?
Kaleido Scope my channel has a playlist for how to learn flatfooting - search the playlists on MoonshineV Miss Moonshine’s free buckdance lessons

Great music.Brought to this country by Irish immigrants.
Now that's fiddle playin and Miss Moonshine is tearing it up. also ,now that's. Country . most likely a little Scotch Irish blood at work here.
It's English clogging and step.
@@hetrodoxly1203 when will you ever learn , Miss Moonshine often visits Ireland . enjoy ua-cam.com/video/Lr2efObjn14/v-deo.html show me some english to compare with this , you wont be able to
@@johnsmith-bx4rn here's your answer. www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/Clog-Dancing/
that's right came over with the mass migrations of Irish mostly in the mid 19th , there were thousands of Irish immigrants working in the cotton mills and coal mines in Lancashire and Yorkshire,
@@hetrodoxly1203 its buck dancing which came from slaves
Living breathing culture,whats not to like.Listening in North West England.
Thats just great stuff love from England 👏👏
Forgot my corncob pipe. Now pass the SHINE.
Hats off to you that was really good thank God there are people like you who keep the tradition alive

This music makes me feel Happy inside Reminds me being at Grandfather and Grandma's house Thank you so much✌️♥️
thank you for helping me through 2020 with your stellar playing and dancing. Love it
Glad you enjoy it! SUch a kind comment
See all the Sleepers parked? That is at least half of what goes on at a 2 or 3 day Bluegrass festival where Bluegrass ensembles come to play, followed by others for 2 or 3 days. In the parking areas you'll find professional performers playing along with home folk.
Watching little Ms Moonshine buckdancing gives me so much joy and is so wonderful to behold. What a beautiful gal.
Make me dream of home...WEST-BY-GOD VIRGINIA, AND HEAVEN!

@@MissMoonshineDance was it good ???
@@olvinyldude extra mayo, gotta be good;)
@@MissMoonshineDance LOL...Yes, with Steak & Onions also!
@@olvinyldude thanks for it
This takes me back.... I grew up in Western North Carolina and this flat-footing a lot of people did but the buck dance I remember is where they would swing the leg so much that the knees would come almost up to your chest . I had a cousin that used to travel all around the country with contests for buck dancing .
I miss BBQ, Livermush, and going with Nana to watch bluegrass and clog.
From Buffalo, New York. I was from the 70's into hard rock n roll but WOW, I was really getting into the music you's were playing, hum ya. With Lady MoonShine, na I don't drink anymore (LOL) but I wouldn't mind joining ya's with a good cup of coffee and a buttered hardroll. Please understand me. I'm not making fun, but ya gotta put Lady MoonShine in BLUEJEANS. Forget about the dress n shorts, BLUEJEANS. I enjoyed this video, Thanks.
Nothing like it anywhere else in the world. Love listening to this! this is why I won't put taps on my shoes...on the sidewalk, in the mall, I'd never stop. fiddlers would be my keepers, like a drug. How can you not dance..
like the comment
@@MissMoonshineDance Your a national treasure! seriously love your dancing!.
Don't get me wrong . . . I love Hillary Klug, but this is what she'd like to be when she grows up.
My kind of people.
MUY B BUENA LA MUSICA.....Y LA SRA. QUE ZAPATEA...👍....!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
There's a lot of talent hidden in America
You're damn right! And it certainly isn't hiding in "autonomous zones" 😉
Wonderful! Catch me up, Buckdancing vs Flatfoot. Whats the difference? Great fun! CHEERS!
Very well done everybody , but I just love Miss Moonshine .
yet you have never subbed?
Nid and Uncle Zebbie use dance to that. They called it the pickle barrell jigs. They make there dance floor out of ole pickle barrells. Even when Nid got arthritis she's still dance 2,3 hours.
As a Scotsman with a fine ear for the music and quality dance this is outstanding.No more words required.
i care, speak fer yerseff
greetings from Ireland love your music
@NPC 1337 It's not this is Appalachian style, the Irish never settled the mountains it was English and Scottish.
Ms. Moonshine is always a joy! Love her. The group is awesome too!
That's great, thanks for posting it.
Blessed are the percussionists!
Always makes me smile 😃😉 Can’t stop saying it One of UA-cam’s cutiest cutie pies
Thank you so much! Oddly enough this brings back old memories *and tears* but I've never been in the US.
how cool and universal is that?! where live u?
LIVED IN MISSOURI FOR A WHILE FROM UTAH LIVE IN AZ NOW SOME OLD BOY IN MISSOURI SAID TO ME IF YA CANT PLAY SANG IF YA CANT SANG DANCE SO I TRY
Home
Very enjoyable. Thanks for posting! Many cheers from Ireland!
Get stoned, play music, dance, eat food, make Love, what else is there in life??
How right you are
Death.....😔
"It appointed unto man once to die then after this is the judgement."🤔
Won't you receive the finished work of Jesus on the cross and live for ever in His glory and in His presence and not suffer His Judgement? It's the least we can do for our Creator who sacrificed His Son on that tree at Calvary.😃
A rewind of all the above.
I think Jesus loved seeing that music and dancing.
Amen
two thumbs up, one for the band, one for the dancer.
Whoah!!! The 1st one I saw was at Gravois Mills, Missouri, about 1954.
