@@Gray8YT I Agree and it's heart breaking. Pop culture ain't it for me. As Black American I'm still searching my roots. But when I looks other cultures all over the world be it African, Central or South America, Caribbean, and Middle East I see myself and feel a connection.
My Old man was a corn pone hick and he would drive hours then sit and watch this stuff into the night and the next weekend drive hours just to sit and listen to all night gospel singing. Never went to a movie.
Look up where that heritage came from. None of those instruments came from America. There's a world of heritage out there, and we came from all around the world.
@@swizlestick This clown really believes being a slave living in a dunghut in africa dying of aids, bathing in animal piss, eating mosquito patties and dirt cookies waiting to be cannibalized would be preferable to being a slave in america where they were treating as expensive property not considered expendable, unlike the irish. Slavery was a jewish enterprise that was horrible for whites, but the best outcome for negros. What are the fruits of women's rights?? Murdering their unborn children? Onlyfans?

The young lady in the burgundy dress was just dancing and moving effortlessly, just amazing footwork with such ease and control , she was first place in my eyes.... the young boy was very good right behind her in second!
Hi, I'm from Ireland and this reminds me of traditional Irish dancing. All legs, no arms. The music while different is similar, reminiscent of Irish jigs and reels. I'm picking the second girl, just for the red dress and overall breezy flow. She looked fabulous. Watching this makes me want to visit this America. You can keep the coastlines, I want to see the middle.
@@DeanAdventure They didn't, the first were people like English man Daniel Boone who cut the trail through the Appalachians and English man Walker who built the first log cabin, but we don't have to guess the 1790 -1810 census tells us the majority were English, followed by Scottish, some households state English and Scottish, 10 Welsh households, some state English and Welsh, 8 German, 1 French, no Irish.
Nothing like a lady on deck but to me kid first, skirt girl 2, Jean's 3, should have all 3 perform together side by side ....but the young ladies and the gentleman were tops
I agree. He looked relaxed and 'kinda cheeky'! Reminded me very much of the male dancer in "Spank the Planks!' This is wonderful stuff, makes you glad to be alive!
I've never heard of Buck Dancing. I was thinking that's the way America used to be, good clean wholesome fun. I also hope and pray that America The Beautiful is still out there.
Heavy influences from Scottish and Irish dance, as bluegrass music is heavily influenced by Scottish and Irish music. The Irish and Scottish settled the area throughout the Appalachian mountains and Ozarks and brought this with them. We have those folks to thank for the dance and music from that area today.
Absolutely wonderful rhythms, amazingly cool footwork, no showing off or showboating, just down home on the money. All 3 very good, but #2 rocked the red dress, very flowing. Like water
Quite the talents this music touches my inner heart no one knows fiddles banjo's and guitars light my soul the dancer's just the cream on top bucking my my thankful for the good share...

Her arms were moving too much. She flowed the best, but her arm movements were helping her do that. The problem is that you're not supposed to do that so she lost points with the judges for it.
@@jayhawkT1A i couldnt disagree more. Her arms looked the most natural and like she was totally in her element. The sway she had to her left arm was much nicer and more flowy to watch than the stiff placement of the arms the first girl had and or even the flowey down to the side placement the boy had, even tho i liked his arm placement and the slight bending of his elbows he was doing too.

They were all very good, Hillary hair is just as beautiful as her dancing, the second girl was just flowing beautifully with the music. However, my favorite was the young man he was amazing, congratulations to all three 👍
The style of the feet flying and the arms by their sides is very similar to Irish step dancing. You can see the origins of these dance styles from the Irish and Scotch immigrants. Wonderful to know these dances and styles have been passed down through the generations.
Repeating my reply to another above: The greatest number of migrants (and earliest migrants) to the Appalachians were English. They brought their music, song, and dance. The dances included kinds of step dancing (including flat-footing styles) common in England. Trying to write English migrants out of the history, and cultural history, of the Appalachians is an exercise of revisionist history, even if it is done unknowingly though ignorance.
@@andrewwigglesworth3030 where on u tube can i find english step dancing actually in the uk , but not by modern day enthusiasts who've retired early with their final salary pensions and taking a day off from their charity shop s
@@andrewwigglesworth3030 they also brought their accents. If you go into a Walmart in one of the small towns of Appalachia you are very likely to hear some of what the original settlers of the region sounded like as you wander up and down the aisles. ❤
Grew up watching my cousin as a kid, and went to fiddle fests with my grandparents this brought back many great memories! They were all awesome in my opinion
Something about #2.....she is extremely precise; her dancing steps sound as sharp as hammered nails....I agree with others; she's the best of three exceptionally good dancers.
The music's fantastic & the buck tapping pretty cool as well, here in sw scotland uk we dance round about 2 crossed swords.. & that's a fine art as well...🏴
It was the Scottish and Irish immigrants that brought their dancing to our mountains. To this day the tradition of clogging and buck dancing still thrives!
Hey from TN! I agree for keeping it going, that's who we are. Th problem nowadays is prying th phones out of their faces, & finding someone that's willing to learn is more "scarce than hens' teeth".
This stuff is truly amazing!, and to think I’d never even heard of this dance form until my wife showed me a TH-cam video of a young lady from Nashville who plays the fiddle expertly AND buck dances to her own music. Stunning! You can keep your Moon landings and jet aircraft, it’s the talent and skill of all these unknown wonders that make me proud to be an American 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸
This dance is pretty common in Kentucky. My dad was really good at it. When the Irish and Scottish settled in Ky, Virginia and Tennessee they brought this dance with them.
Thank you for helping keep the American mountain heritage (lifestyle?) Alive and well. As time marches on it's so hard to keep traditions alive. Keeping the family fed,etc. so thank you
I don’t know how I ended up here. I was watching videos on the TOW Tector. It’s a mud flap that spans the entire width of your pickup, mounts to your receiver hitch so rocks don’t fly up and damage your boat, RV, or trailer. You tube must have thought I wanted to watch TOE Tappers I guess. AWESOME!!
Woman in the red dress was the best, absolutely amazing. Someone else commented that she tapped at least 3 steps to everyone elses 1 step and i couldnt agree more. I loved the boy tho he was a very close second, he leg movements were so animated awesome to watch.
I discovered Buckdance tonight, had no idea, this is amazing. I love all forms of music, especially world folk music and dance, this is so beautiful to me, and Irish. But more than that. I moved here from Scotland.
This represents the last of the good and beautiful in America. Americana still exists in a few spots and I hope it is never shutdown. Being a dancer, like these kids, many years ago, they ALL were great and entertaining. I know the hours and hard work they all put in to be this good. I admire kids like these for their perseverance.
@@39157Mary how is that possible?? She knew the judges or something cuz me and everyone else in the comments saw the second girl as the best clear as day. Id say the boy was second.
This is the Scoth-Irish roots of America. There are the people who were really the slaves who built America. These were the miners and lumberjacks and the farmhands.
I pick number 2,believe it if you will my father in law when alive was a Baptist preacher. My children are of 2 cultures, we would stay on weekends for campfire ,gospel music, and Sunday service. I had much respect for him and his fairness and love for me and my children. Kids are grown, this reminds me of those times, he and my mother in law have gone home, I can't wait to see them again. RIP❤
Yeah but buck dancing isnt about flowing, look at the old timers they kept a sort of stiffness in their gait. Flowing it turns into tapping or clogging.
As much as I wanted the first girl, Hillary Klug, to win since I've seen so many of her videos (she dances while playing the violin), the girl in the red dress looked like she was gliding a half inch off the floor at times. She had a very nice relaxed and effortless style. Loved it!
Yeah! My grandpa used to dance like this in front of the toaster. He’d stomp his foot at the end, and the toast would pop up. That was over 60 years ago now. Remember it, and that old kitchen, clear as day.
The word that came to me watching the boy was a skateboarding term “steeze” meaning style and ease. They were all very talented but he was dancing with his whole body even though the arms aren’t involved! The girl is the dress was also particularly impressive!
Courtney Day , would have my vote on the day . Wow , the way she made her feet move was so beautiful to watch , was like she wasn’t even trying . Steve Australia

theyre all good but i think the 1st one took it cause she went with the music better

It comes from English clogging, the Irish never settled the Appalachians.
Ah, this isn't from as far inland as you think, just to the first mountain range off the east coast
@@hetrodoxly1203 The Irish was the first to settle the Appalachians after natives. Most of us have Irish blood. My people were from Cork and Munster.

Hello 👋 how’re you doing?
I'd have given it to the second dancer: she made it flow. All really good though.
Yeah but buck dancing isnt about flowing, look at the old timers they kept a sort of stiffness in their gait. Flowing it turns into tapping or clogging.
Her feet seemed to float above the ground.
Anybody know the name of this fiddle tune? Would like to learn it.
Is her name courtney?
That boy could sure dance. He gets my vote.
I will probably never know what I did to deserve getting this as a recommended video.
As much as I wanted the first girl, Hillary Klug, to win since I've seen so many of her videos (she dances while playing the violin), the girl in the red dress looked like she was gliding a half inch off the floor at times. She had a very nice relaxed and effortless style. Loved it!
The guys in the band must have dreams about that song. . . .
You can't go past Tradition,this is excellent stuff, thank you 👍😊
I liked Courtney Derryberry's performance the best. Her smooth style, technique and interpretation I believe was the best, she made it look easy.
might help if you say girl 1, girl 2, and boy.
@@nowvoyagerNE If you listened, a man says their name after they performed. She is lady number 2.
@@deadstick8624 : i'm from the midwest. i don't understand the guy's pronunciation. mean while, butt out.
@@nowvoyagerNE I'm from Wisconsin, so fkQ
@@nowvoyagerNE well im from Texas and if you cant understand what the mans saying thats on you bud.
#2 for sure. Nothing but the music. No accent on herself...very classy
The girl in the red dress is effortlessly floating. She’s also getting two or three taps in where everybody else got one
Yeah but its buck dancing not clogging, its supposed to look kinda stiff and forced not flowing.
@@functionatthejunction shes wearing tap shoes, they are made to get the extra taps in using a metal plate on the toe and heel
It was the shoes... TAPDANCING SHOES!!
I agree. It's not supposed to get fancy. That defeats the traditon
The blonde kept looking down. Lack of stage presence and confidence. She gets third in my eyes
You make sure you don't let that die.. keep it well & truly alive! Much respect from Australia! I could watch you all night long! 🏆🥇
I remember when my grandfather danced like this .
Yeah! My grandpa used to dance like this in front of the toaster. He’d stomp his foot at the end, and the toast would pop up. That was over 60 years ago now. Remember it, and that old kitchen, clear as day.
This is awesome! And I am from California !! We don't ignore it we happen to love talent !!
The dancing and music is good and that long pretty hair looks good also!
All three are excellent.
Love the band as well as the competitors! I’ve seen the three in Smithville Tn. They are all very talented. Love watching them!!
The word that came to me watching the boy was a skateboarding term “steeze” meaning style and ease. They were all very talented but he was dancing with his whole body even though the arms aren’t involved! The girl is the dress was also particularly impressive!
The First Lady had a head full of beautiful hair! Have to give it to the kid tho!
Courtney Day , would have my vote on the day . Wow , the way she made her feet move was so beautiful to watch , was like she wasn’t even trying . Steve Australia
I love it, don’t ever let it die out ( fantastic)
