Come make music with your feet! Learn the basics of Appalachian
Flat-foot Dancing, a solo freestyle form of American dance. This
style of dance invites you to become part of the music by using
your feet and body as a percussive instrument to echo the
rhythms of banjo and fiddle tunes. Rebecca Molaro has been
wowing audiences and winning flat-foot dance contests since she
was 4 years old. If possible, wear comfortable hard soled shoes
for this class.
