This documentary short, produced for West Virginia public TV's "Different Drummer" series, introduces us to Jesco White, a hard-living, tap-dancing Boone County resident whose repeated run-ins with the law have interfered with his dream of becoming as renowned a "mountain dancer" as his late father, D. Ray White. We meet Jesco's three distinct personalities; the gentle and loving Jesse, the violent and dangerous Jesco, and the extremely strange Elvis. We also encounter various members of Jesco's family, all nearly as eccentric as Jesco himself. You will ask, "Are these people for real?" Yes, they are.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Christopher BUnbelievable! Almost a portrait of madness, but what an entertaining portrait it is. Some of the strangest folk ever put in front of a camera.
User Review - 10/10 by Ben PThis documentary about a white southern tap dancing dude who loves Elvis and Jesus singlehandedly justifies the existence of public television.
User Review - 10/10 by Kevin BThe Dancing Outlaw is a realistic and poignant look into what some might called redneck culture in modern day Appalachia. The eccentric mountain dancer Jesco White proves that there is more then meets the eye to the West Virginia coalfields by telling stories about his past, tap dancing, and arguing with his wife. In this documentary, the focus is mainly on Jesco who tells the story of his wild past and multiple run ins with the law. Most notably, he tells the story of his murdered father who taught Jesco his unique dancing style and of his mother "The Miracle Woman" who raised more than twenty children as well as adopting several more. The dialogue is priceless and strangely poetic. It's hard not to watch this over and over again. The film manages to capture Boone County West Virginia in a brutally honest way making it an instant classic.
User Review - 10/10 by Philip LMadness in the form of a backwoods redneck who wears tap shoes. This short documentary tells us the story of mountain dancer Jesco White in all his batshit insane glory. He huffs gasoline, threatens to kill his wife over badly cooked eggs, tells us the horrific story of watching his father get shot to death, and tap dances all over his home town of Boone County West Virgina. The most ungodly looking place I've ever seen. Although a true story, it's as surreal as any Dali painting or David Lynch film. An honest, heartbreaking and hilarious look into the life of man who lives with no qualms about who he is. A trashy ignorant hillbilly who can tap dance like no other. And for that he's brilliant.
User Review - 8/10 by Nathan NMy only wish is that this was longer. Epic crazy.
User Review - 8/10 by Wu CQuite the motley crew of characters. Too bad the show is only 28 mins.
User Review - 8/10 by Kata CIt was just supposed to be something to watch during my workout. WV public TV documentary, an Emmy award, what could possibly go wrong? I was too horrified to laugh, yet I couldn't stop watching. Just as well since the best part was near the end when he performed "Standin' on the corner, doin' no harm". Folks, this here is a whole 'nother world (and totally unlike the gentrified Appalachia I knew in Asheville, NC). 4 stars in spite of myself.
User Review - 8/10 by Holt THard to find, but truely awesome. If your a fan of Hank Williams III, the song on Straight to Hell "The Legend of D Ray White" is based on some of the folks here. I saw this a few years ago on VHS, and didn't think it was DVD, but I found a copy on Amazon. If you can find it, get it, it is worth the price. Interesting, Crazy, Disturbing, Hilarious, Sad, Creepy. And all in less than 30 minutes.
User Review - 8/10 by Clare NI do so love hillbillies with a boner for Elvis.
User Review - 8/10 by Ken SOne of those unique documentaries that just by nature and content could surely amass a cult following and create adoring fans of mountain dancer Jesco White. Just as sad and funny the second time around as Jesco recounts violence again his family who later have a back yard, drink induced peel out session set to Free Bird in two of cinemaâ??s most memorable minutes. Youngâ??s friendship to Jesco provides needed closeness to uncover three different and interesting personalities all under one tap dancing Boone county resident.
