I've developed a Flatfooting Formula that will take you from shy beginner to confident improviser faster than you can say "yee-haw!"

Whether you're looking to connect with tradition, get some fun exercise, or become the star of every late-night jam, I've got you covered. So put on your dancing shoes, and let's get moving!

It's difficult to put a finger on what makes a dancer truly shine at a hoedown or festival... but it's easy to know when something's missing.

When your footwork flows effortlessly with the music, when your body instinctively responds to every fiddle riff and banjo lick, when you can confidently join any jam session without missing a beat—that's when you know you've truly mastered Appalachian dance.

At the Appalachian Flatfooting & Clogging Academy, we help you get it right.

In our recorded classes and live videos, we combine authentic traditions with modern teaching methods, and cultural context with step-by-step instruction. Whether you're reconnecting with your heritage or discovering these dances for the first time, my Flatfooting Formula will help take you from hesitant newbie to confident improviser.

So when the music starts up and your heart says 'dance,' you'll be ready to answer the call—anytime, anywhere. 

Because THAT'S what it's all about!
