Clogging originated in the Appalachian Mountains as a mountain man’s folk dance. The roots of this quick step dance come from Irish step dancing (as seen in River Dance) and Holland’s wooden shoe dance. This fun and upbeat class is a great way to connect to our Appalachian culture. This class will focus on traditional Appalachian dance technique. We will have two separate times for beginners and intermediate dancers with a hoedown in the middle focusing on partner work. Dancers will also learn other traditional folk dances such as running set and Smooth Dancing.
Dancers will need to purchase White Clogging shoes for this class
