"Faire les pieds sans se fatiguer"
J'aime beaucoup l'expression ^^
SO COOL !!!! I LOVE IT !!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💖💖💖💖😊😊😊😊
There is a developmentally challenged girl, who needs reason to get up and walk -- hates it because she is not strong, yet.
I do Appalachian dance (standing) which, standing dance will be, for her the ultimate goal. But I have strained my back, and there will be no standing dance for me today. Maybe not next week either.
With children, you have small windows of opportunity to influence them, to ignite passion for life. I will miss that if I wait for my back to heal.
So to start strengthening her legs, your dance might help. Wish the video would show more your feet, but I am a dancer who had to learn by talking to the feet and telling them over & over because they wouldn't listen -- ha! 😜 So I'll let you tell them instead. (Your video is playing on other phone. I'm getting it! Just like that...yes! I love your accent, by the way. My ears say it's delicious.)
When I can do it better, I'll make her a little video -- verry slow progression & a lot of repetition. Then in a couple weeks, will do upright. Thank you for teaching me so I can help this girl. And also, so I can still dance when I hurt and must sit!!
Very cool. I would really love to learn this. I wonder if it works with the harp as well as with the fiddle.
Okay, seems to be the same foot movements as I saw in the Prince Edward Island group Barachois ( same time period as this video). So where did this come from, Acadains, French-Canadains, who?
I think it’s a Breton thing, originally
@@Thebluebridgetroll From Brittany? The Acadains are from another region of France, nearby but different.
Roger Roberts most of the original Acadian and Quebecois settlers came from Brittany, Picardy, and Normandy, iirc
@@Thebluebridgetroll Okay, help me out here, I was told the Acadians were from the Acadia (sp) region of France which is sorta NW of Paris. Have to admit my "knowledge" is based on conversations I had w/ members of Barachois.
@@rogerc.roberts4705 no it come from quebecois AND acadian not from brittany
The hard part I can't get around is fiddling and tapping at the same time.
James Hill, an Ukulele guru, does the foot thing in many youtube clips. I suspect any instrument can be coupled with the "podorythmie." (rhythm of the feet), except maybe the piano. v=yieeRs2w-MU
Wish it was zoomed in from the front to actually see his feet.
Sorry, some shots were blocked by stage monitor......
Fine. Tapping. Got it. But then YOU HAVE TO FIDDLE, TOO!
