Flatfooting vs Buckdancing
Flatfooters:
-
Keep their feet close to the ground. There are no extroverted bent leg thrusts of buckdancing, nor the clapping of clogging.
-
Flatfooters don't get to make a lot of noise. The key is getting in time with the music.
-
Feet should be about an inch off the ground, like stuck to the ground by chewing gum.
-
Your body must relax.
-
Flatfooting is very improvisational.
Buckdancers.
-
Steps are higher off the ground with a straight immobile torso.
-
It has emphasis on steps that put the dancer on their toes rather than their heels.
