Each buck dancer has their own unique style. The dance is not standardized or formalized. And so, I’m going to feature different dancers for y’all to see variations of this dance! Starting with Tater Caruthers! #buckdance #flatfoot #clogging #stepdance #seannos East Nash Grass | Hillary Klug

This is Buckdancing. According to tradition, a buck dancer is a musician. My feet are my instrument. I’m not dancing TO the music. I’m part of the band creating the music. #buckdance #flatfoot #oldtime #appalachian #tradition #folkdance | Hillary Klug
