Outstanding. The amount of coordination required to execute those dance moves while fiddlin' like that is truly off-the-charts. Wonderful job.

When I was this girl's age, I played a wandering fiddler in a play and it took tons of practice to be able to simply walk around and fiddle at the same time without my bow bouncing or crunching. I'm so impressed that this fiddler can dance and fiddle at the same time. That takes enormous control. She's amazing!

Some pure American heritage here, I hope people will treasure it as much as I admire it as a European.

To Fiddle and Dance like that is incredible. She looks like she’s having a blast!

Now that's some serious multi-tasking. I can't even chew gum and walk at the same time. You are extraordinarily gifted! 🙏

It’s amazing to me that she can dance and play the violin so well at the same time.

There is so much going on here, just wonderful. Full of joy, life and happiness 👍👍👍

As a person who drums a little at church service, her boots are right on beat. Never missed the rhythm! I’ll add she was magnificent in the fiddle too.

There needs to be more performers like you... this is brilliant. :)

Oh my! Just saw Hillary perform this in Silver Dollar City. It was just amazing. She is a great entertainer, dancing, telling jokes, and giving the history of Buck dancing. She played banjo, claw hammer style and it has a much more plucky sound. She also played some great old-time tunes that are not performed anymore. As a Buck dancing champion, she is proud to spread its popularity to new audiences. It's fun to watch and fun to do. She just enjoyed dancing and playing so much, it was infectious.

I have never seen anything like this before. What a creative way to add some percussion to her fiddle playing!

The amazing talent of this young lady is heartwarming and uplifting!

I saw her doing that on a corner in downtown Nashville about a year ago. She is FANTASTIC! and she had a big crowd around her.

I'm still unsure why this popped up in my recommended. But bravo

[racineg]

OMG! The coordination levels are next level on this one. WOW! Fantastic!

[terryknutson]

And to top it off. Hillary can smile while she dances and plays!! Amazingly Wonderful. Thank you for this.

Never watched a video even remotely like this in my entire life, there's no discernable reason for this to be in my recommended...

... but I am damn happy that it was

[ladybard]

I love seeing people my age doing this kind of art. It takes tons of dedication, hard work, and pure talent. Keep it up, girl! You are amazing.

[Deliverygirl]
