This video contains 5 main parts: Instruction, Interpretive Section, Paul Anderegg Dancing, Phyrell Coleman Interview, Phyrell Coleman Dancing, and Extras.

Instruction – We have learned one thing from teaching so many students, and that is that everything works better when you are having fun. Paul sets the pace for the entire video by teaching the “Happy State of Mind” and how it relates to this dance. In this section Paul Anderegg show several different basic motions and steps. He first starts by talking about the person(s) the step came from and demonstrates it slowly, and then shows how to time it to the music. He includes helpful tips and trick with each step and sometimes includes humor. Each step is practiced to live music.

The following motions and steps are learned in this section: Motions – This is a section in the DVD that shows the ten basic motions that are common to all steps. By learning these simple motions the student learns how to add them into any step that they later learn. These motions include:

  • ·         Tap
  • ·         Dig
  • ·         Brush
  • ·         Scuff
  • ·         Zig
  • ·         Zag
  • ·         Slide
  • ·         Drag
  • ·         Rolls
  • ·         Knees

Steps – No instructional video would be complete without the steps. The steps are organized from the simplest to the most complex, constantly building on what you just learned. These are not standard steps that can be found at any Buck Dancing / Flat-footing class taught at a local festival. These steps were found through 10,000 miles of travel, from real dancers from the heart of Appalachia, many of which Phyrell Coleman uses. Paul Anderegg teaches that all Flat-footers use three basic steps: Soldier’s March, Zig Zags, and Chugs. These steps and many variations are covered in this section. These following steps and sections include:

  • Soldier’s March – This section goes right to the heart of the dance by using the one step that all Buck Dancers / Flat-footers use and all students know how to do. It becomes the basis for the following steps.
  • immy – This step comes from Oneonta, AL area and was practiced by an Old Time Buck Dancer by the name of Jimmy Ledbetter, now passed away. It’s a very simple 1-2-3 step that uses three steps of the Soldier’s March. Once you have this step and start combining with the Mitchell and the Bowman you really start to feel like you have some technique.
  • Mitchell – This step comes from Galax, VA and practiced by a flat-footer known as Mitchell Robinson. It’s considered a core step of this style of dance and one of the first that people learn on their own when they are not “taught”. The Mitchell is very simple in that it combines a Dig with the Soldier’s March.
  • Bowman – This step comes from Bobby Bowman (the flat-footer who inspired Paul Anderegg,) who danced in the central Virginia area. This step is like the Mitchell except it combines a Tap instead of a Dig with the Soldier’s March.
  • Leaf Shuffle – Like all the steps, this one too is found widely throughout Appalachia. A series of foot trails connected many parts of Appalachia together before roads were developed. In the fall of the year some of these trails were covered in leaves. People did not want to slip down the side of the mountain, so the person hiking in front would brush the leaves off the trail with their feet as they were coming down the mountain. If there ever was a “Magic Step” to Flat-footing, surely the Leaf Shuffle must be it. The previous steps give the student technique, this step give the student ‘style’. It combines the Soldier’s March with the Slide and a Zig.
  • Zig Zags – This is the step that lets people really start to have fun with dance. We see people smiling ear to ear when learning this step. A very common step to Flat-footing, it has often been overlooked as important primary step of this style of dance. It combines the motions of Zig and Zag.
  • Questions and Answers – A short break is taken here to review all the steps learned so far.
  • Chugs – This step is considered by many to be a core part of this dance that sets it apart from other dance forms. Being a very common step, students pick it up quickly. It consists of a Drag and a Slide.
  • Freestyle – Flat Footing is about one’s own natural response to music. In this section you learn how to ‘Become Yourself’ as you dance.

·         Questions and Answers – A round of questions is taken from the audience that include:

  • What is the difference between Flat-footing, Buck Dancing, and Clogging?
  • Do Flat Footers basically pretty much look the same when they dance?
  • What is the typical thing to do with your arms while dancing?

Interpretive Section – This section in mainly intended to demonstrate how the simple steps are combined into more complex steps known as Compound Steps. Although this section was not intended for teaching, one can still learn as many of the steps are done slower while Paul Anderegg speaks about each step and the motions used. There is no music in this section.

  • Buck Step – This step being a very common step taught in classes and festivals, it is the basis for many beautiful rhythms. Other steps such as the Mitchell or the Bowman fit perfectly into this step. This step consists of a Drag and the Soldier’s March. Nine different variations are demonstrated.
  • Pitter Patter – This step being based on the Soldier’s March has many variations. Four different variations are demonstrated.
  • Indian – Believed by some to have come from Indians, more thorough research suggests it came from Hollywood Cowboy Movies because the sound it makes sounds like the some of the old Cowboy soundtracks. Six variations are shown.
  • Zig Zags – Compound zig zags can look very interesting. Many different variations are shown including: Walk the Duck, Walk the Goat, The Funky Charleston, Pinwheels, and Alternating Pinwheels. Eight Variations are shown total. Lots of fun and laughs in this section.
  • Back Step – The most elusive of the Compound Steps, it is like the Buck Step, but in reverse. Three variations are demonstrated.
  • Touch Chug – A step that can wear you out fast, it's like chugging, but on one foot as the other foot does something else. Three variations are shown.

Questions and Answers – A round of questions is taken from the audience that include:

  • How is Flat-footing different than Tap Dancing?
  • Historically did Tap come after Flat-footing?
  • How long have you danced?
  • Did you do other types of dance before this?
  • When was your moment you realized you really wanted to do this?
  • Why do you wear two different shoes?
  • At some point, do you switch to the other match?
  • What are the soles of your shoes made of?
  • Is this dance bad for the knees?

Paul Anderegg Dancing – In this section Paul dances to about seven minutes of live music showing lots of different un-named steps. In a very rare appearance he also demonstrates how he Flat-foots to a waltz.

 Phyrell Coleman Interview – A favorite of everyone, Phyrell brings insight into what life was like in her time as one of the oldest living dancers alive today. Her sharp wit and humor is unmistakable as Paul Anderegg conducts the interview with her. She answers the following questions:

  • Did you ever enter or win any dance contests?
  • What was it like when you were growing up?
  • What was your earliest memories of music and dancing?

Phyrell Coleman Dancing – In this section she dances to several minutes of live music. She has a blend of smooth motions and percussive steps.

Extras– This sections has a bonus section of Phyrell dancing and there is a two sections of black and white close-ups of Paul Anderegg's feet showing his Compound Steps. The sound is very good of his feet.

Stories – Throughout the DVD stories are included in almost every section. Some of these stories are directly from the people whose step you are learning. Others are from Paul Anderegg’s own personal experience. The stories are a big part of understanding how the dance came to be and make it much easier to remember the steps. Many of these stories are funny.

Tips and Tricks – Throughout the sections Paul provides tips and tricks about how to do the dance and look better at it. Some of these tips and tricks help you better understand the culture and history of this dance.

Transitions – Flat-footing would be hard to do if you could never learned how to transition from one step to another. Through the use of the Soldier’s March, Paul quickly shows you how to transition between the steps. The process of transitions slowly increases throughout the video. This method known as Progressive Transition Strategy (Developed by the ASPS Dance Company) starts the student off with very simple steps and increasingly integrates more complex steps at rate we have found most people can do.

Layers – Every time you learn a step, you learn a “Layer” of the dance. As the video progresses these layers are added and subtracted so you can feel and learn the different styles and steps. More and more layers are added as you progress through the video. We are always amazed at how many “Layers” a new student can do by using this method after just one hour.

Learning Tempo – “ASPS Learn” technique has found through 1000s of students that some dance tempos are easier to learn at then others. There’s nothing more frustrating than a teacher who teaches too fast and uses music that goes faster than what you can learn to dance. The “ASPS Learn” stamp requires a music tempo of about 96 BPM. Not only is this a very comfortable pace for students to learn at, is a multiple of most people’s heart rate. Although Flat-footing is considered one of the most vigorous dance forms, using this method you will be amazed how easy it feels. Even after an hour of learning we find most students are not short of breath and not sweating.

Music – All the music in this video is of the Old Time style as it relates to this style of dance. Only ‘straight’ tunes are used, which means that the music does not shift unexpectedly for the students making the learning process easier. Some of the tunes in the video might make you want to get up out of your chair and start dancing. The following musicians are in this video:

  • Andy Smith - Guitar
  • Andy Shivas - Claw Hammer Banjo / Mandolin
  • Bill Baldock - Bass
  • Ron Ault - Mandolin
  • Kelsey Wells - Fiddle
  • Gretchen Priest-May - Fiddle

Nature – The experience of learning Flat-footing is combined with having respect to earth, wind, and water. The production of the DVD uses green energies and packaging materials whenever possible.

Organization – Although Buck Dancing / Flat-footing is a freestyle dance we find that students learn better with well-organized material. All the sections happen in same teaching technique and music tempo. There are no sudden surprises. It’s so predictable you don’t even have to think about it at times.

Production Quality – The “ASPS Learn” stamp requires the use informal and innovative filming techniques. You find no big budgets or Hollywood movie styles here. These methods greatly increase the cost and consume lots of non-renewable energies. Instead all the focus is place on teaching by clear examples and clear filming techniques. The balance of sound between voice, feet, and music was matched as closely as we could. Not at any point in the DVD do you have to guess what Paul Anderegg is doing.

Experience – “ASPS Learn” Stamp requires the teacher(s) to come with experience.
