Flatfooting is a traditional percussive step dance from the Appalachian Mountains. It is a living folk tradition that has been spread around the country and the globe by dancers who love the way it feels under their feet.

Charmaine Slaven is one of these new bearers of the Flatfooting tradition. Starting in 2005, she's quickly become renown for her sharp sense of rhythm, unique style, and clear teaching method. She's known for her ability to both dance and play guitar or fiddle simultaneously. She's also an excellent square dance caller and lovely singer.

In this instructional DVD, you will learn the art of Flatfooting, starting with a foundation of basic rhythm steps, then you'll build on those with accent steps and variations, all with emphasis on dancing with musicianship and solid rhythm.
