Flatfoot dancing, or buck dancing, is an old-time Appalachian art—feet flying low, laying down rhythms to fiddle and banjo tunes. No fancy stage, just wooden floors and quicksilver steps passed through generations. Born from Scotch-Irish, African, and Native traditions, it’s part dance, part percussion, and pure mountain soul.
