Im no expert but I guess the Shelbourne clips was more like River Dance, while the "clogging" clips were old time. Nice clips anyway.

If you're interested I got this quite interesting clip from Tobias about solo mountain dancing:
Talking Feet: Solo Southern Dance: Buck, Flatfoot and Tap

It would be cool to be able to move my feet like that as a little gimmick while playing!

The link doesn't seem to work. It's the right link though. I have just tried it, but this time I have written the comma and the number by hand, and then it worked.
www.folkstreams.net/film,121
Or you can, in stead of clicking on the link, try to copy and paste it into the browser. It just worked for me.

Thanks for the link Harpo.

I have of course added it to the list.
( ... & corrected the link too! )

While the clog did exist in antiquity in the US, clogging in the contemporary sense isn't an old-time dance, not by any traditional standards. Flat-foot, buck-dancing, and jig-dancing are. The "Talking Feet" DVD expands on this, though doesn't cover Ozark jig-dancing at all.
