Foundations of Flatfooting

A Personal Invitation from Carla ...

Appalachian Musician & Dancer

Creator of the Appalachian Flatfooting & Clogging Online Academy

I’m from Eastern Kentucky, and I’ve spent my whole life learning and sharing the beautiful cultural, musical, and dance heritage of our region. 

After teaching thousands of students over the past 30+ years I’ve discovered the methods that help my students learn and internalize not just the dance steps, but the relationship they have with the music of the mountains. 

This workshop is a culmination of what I’ve learned about helping my students become confident, fluent improvisers and dancers.

Already know you're ready to keep dancing?

If this workshop lit a fire in you, I'd love to help you keep it burning. The Beginner's Toolkit for Appalachian Flatfooting & Clogging is a natural next step — everything you need to go from these 4 foundational steps to dancing with confidence at festivals, jams, and living room kitchen dances.

Here's what's waiting for you inside:

• 11 essential steps that take you beyond what we covered today
• Step-by-step video tutorials you can replay as many times as you need
• Shoe selection guide and beginner-friendly music curation
• Practice tracks for "Blue Goose" at slow, medium, and performance speeds
• The stories and cultural context behind the steps — from someone who grew up in the tradition
• Mix-and-match sequences you can use with live music right away

All for only $47 — and if you decide to join the Appalachian Flatfooting & Clogging Academy down the road, that $47 comes back to you as a credit toward enrollment. The Toolkit pays for itself.
