Hot steppin’ at Midway Lake…

Jigging contests are everywhere in the Beauford.

This type of traditional dance is very popular here, with contests often held in bars or outdoor jamborees.

The aim of the jig is simple: Just move your feet as fast as possible, while keeping your upper body still. Fastest feet wins!

p.s. — That yellow powder is corn dust. It makes jigging extra difficult, because it’s slippery!
