Clog Dancing with the Hill Country Cloggers

Clog dancing, which began in Appalachia, is related to both tap and Irish step dancing and not exactly like either. Cloggers dance more flat-footed and less on the toes than either of the others and move their arms more freely than step dancers. Dancers wear leather toe shoes with hinged double taps on both toes and heels, and a clogging performance is percussive - as much an auditory experience as a visual one. The Hill Country Cloggers, who dance to music including bluegrass, rock and pop, country, Irish and gospel, have created educational program for audiences ranging from toddler groups to nursing home residents. This hour-long program will include a brief talk about the history of clogging, several dances  and an interactive segment with the audience.
