National Championship Buck Dancing - Final Round - Threeway Tie Breaker

hillaryklug.com
The 2019 National Buck Dancing Championship was held at Maupinfest in September, and Hillary Klug won! The two other finalists are also proteges of Thomas Maupin. Courtney Derryberry and Jake Fennell.
#buckdance #flatfoot #clogging #traditional #appalachian
"I've won the National Championship previously when it was held at Uncle Dave Macon Days. This year they moved it to Maupinfest, and I was so honored to be the first to win the National Championship at the new festival! I was not expecting to win. Both the other finalists were so amazing. It was such a privilege to be dancing against the best of the best:)
2019 was the first year for Maupinfest, and the festival in in honor of buck dancer Thomas Maupin. Thomas Maupin is so special to me because he taught me everything I know. He inspired and encouraged me. He's taught so many people his dance, and he's kept this old traction alive, and it's amazing to see his legacy through all the dancers at the festival. Thomas has won the National Championship 7 times, and he's received the Governor's Award, and the National Heritage Award. I'm so proud to be one of Thomas' proteges, and I'm so honored and privileged to carry on the tradition and share it with others."

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? Multiple sex partners? No obligation to raise a family? Being able to make false rape allegations and things of similar nature ruling in their favor? Being a strong independent business woman that has no time to raise their kids? Free to groom their children to be the opposite sex? Yes, they truly are now liberated and free, surely this will foster a strong healthy society. I mean surely it never backfired in the past in other civilizations. Muh poor innocent noble savage dindu nuffin. Not even native either, self-admitted in their own folklore.

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.

    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.

    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.
