Appalachian Flatfooting Workshop with Nic Gareiss

Play American folk music with your feet! Flatfooting is a solo form of improvised percussive dance originating in the Appalachian mountains of what some people call the United States, with sonic and gestural connections to West African, Indigenous, and Western European dance. Using the toe, heel, and ball of the foot to strike and slide across the floor, flatfooting articulates the rhythms of old time fiddle and banjo tunes. Wear comfortable clothes and smooth-soled supportive shoes with a low heel or no heel for this class.
