It is almost the end of week 2 of my Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging Challenge.
And, I can honestly say that I am seeing some progress. I have to admit…. I practiced a lot. I was a little nervous about showing up after I stated this HUGE intention for learning how to become proficient.
So I practiced for at least an hour every day. And, then I practiced while cooking dinner. And … while waiting for my coffee to brew.
And then… I got busted by my Number 1 for practicing in the grocery store. She was taking a long time to pick out cream cheese, or yogurt, or something.. and I started thinking… “shuffle, set, toe, step…”
“MOM…you aren’t really practicing in the supermarket… ARE YOU??”
Of course not. So, I just walked behind her, pushing my grocery cart…
Pitty-pat-pitty-pat
pitty-pitty-pitty-pat
Have you seen that scene in the movie Billy Elliot where he is practicing on the way down the street… that’s how I felt.
Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging Videos – Week 2
Video 1 is a repeat of the first sequence that I did last week…. so I could see the progress. I will post it on the main page as well… along with the first-week video. You can see them side by side HERE
Video 2 is the pitty-pat sequence…. the one that I was doing in the market.
Video 3 is my favorite sequence…so far.
My two little “helpers” are Rainey (bulldog) and the Dude ( cattle dog/rat terrier). At least she has stopped attacking my feet when I practice…
And here is a video of someone who is really good at this. Not me… but I’ll get there!

Just want to let you know that you are not the only one practicing constantly and I break into these steps, no shame, on walks with my SO, like EVERY day. He is so patient. He just laughs and puts up with me dancing everywhere. This is a very ambitious course – kind of like a college course and you get out of it what you put in so I am dedicating myself to it completely!!
I am super loving it!!!… I never took dance before… and it’s awkward and amazing at the same time!!
