Greetings to all folks near and far.

Have you ever seen Appalachian dancers clogging or flat footing? It is quite fun to watch the dancers perform these traditional dances. One of the best dancers is a jig doll, or limberjack. Come and read about the jig doll, the Appalachian dancing doll.

Here is my latest article from the Appalachia site at BellaOnline.com.

Applachian Dancing Dolls
One of the oldest and most fun of all traditional folk art is the dancing doll. These dolls are called jig dolls, limberjacks, busker's puppet, clogger, jigger, paddle doll or just dancing doll.

Till next time, may all your roads lead safely home and may you always walk in peace and harmony.
