Description
Advanced Clogging!
What is Clogging? Unlike Canadian Step Dancing, Clogging is a truly an American dance form that began in the Appalachian Mountains and now enjoys widespread popularity throughout the United States and around the world.
As the Appalachians were settled in the mid 1700’s by the Irish, Scottish, English and Dutch-Germans, the folk dances of each area met and began to combine in an impromptu foot-tapping style, the beginning of clog dancing as we know it today.
This style of dance can be accompanied by traditional fiddle and bluegrass music OR it can be accompanied by country, pop or even rock music! We will be EXPLORING ALL genres of music in this class. It is recommended that you have some previous dance experience to take this class.
This class is suitable for those with a strong background in clogging, tap, Irish or Canadian step dance.
CLOGGING IS LOWER IMPACT! You heard that right….clog dancing can be done by folks well into their 80’s and beyond. Clogging still using percussion (clog dance shoes or tap shoes) but it is much LOWER IMPACT than Canadian Step Dancing.
It is both great body and mind work without a lot of jumping or hopping.
