Clogging

 

Clogging is an old-tyme Appalachian dance form that has been transformed into a modern, fun dance that can easily be learned by all.  It originated from the Irish, Scottish and English immigrants who settled in the Appalachian Mountains.

Clogging is a flat-footed style dance that uses the heels for a heavier beat.  It is performed in leather-soled shoes with taps attached.

This percussive dance form is traditionally performed to blue grass music, however today it is common to see it executed to any type of music – whether it be country, pop, rock, etc.
