I used to do clogging in 4-H, but our leader graduated... at that point, it was just me, my best friend, and our student leader. We didn’t even have a real leader, but I miss it SO MUCH.
They are really good... they have such intricate steps. How on earth do they remember their routine ? Very entertaining...plus they are made for the camera. I do not know how much opportunity is out there for their craft, but if it is there for them to make a living, they should do quite well...
I've been clogging and buck dancing my whole life and although this is very different from the way we dance in the " mountains", I enjoyed this. I never had a lesson and just picked it up from my mom when I was younger. I won alot of competitions and got to dance for a lot of years. I really miss it and hope that everyone gets a chance see real clogging and buck dancing. God bless from east tn.
I'm not a clogger, but another type of dance, could really appreciate Morgan & Madison. Way to put little modern with tradition! Great & Creative Job Girls!
WOW !! such rhythm and coordination you girls rock !! Now I would have to guess that they are Buck Dancing rather than clogging. But it's cool, they are having fun and entertaining to watch.
So fabulous, l immediately subscribed! I had to see more! I’m thinking maybe they started dancing when they were three years old because they were that good!
Yeah I love watching this, I might Google this just to find out how old this dance is. I was watching Appalachian flat footing but it's just not the same.
I grew up in the southeast in a family line of Scots-Irish people who clogged, square-danced, reeled, and played in bluegrass bands. This has some clogging steps incorporated but is not technically clogging per se. Before the 1930s it was done in your normal leather-soled shoes that had no taps attached. by the 60s you could buy paten leather shoes with steel taps attached to the toe and heal so you could make louder noise on wooden floors of the barn-dances and dance-halls. Originally came from British isles as a celebratory dance style that was done at community gatherings and festivals. it's roots are in the traditional "step" dances from Ireland, Scotland, and England. The danced anywhere they could that had space and wooden floors - usually a meeting or public house (i.e. a pub). I heard one man say factories - but I find that doubtful because the factory would be studded with iron-made machinery (not movable) and supplies - I don't know if they really had room to dance in a factory when they already had public houses. (in fact to this day, the Irish, Scottish, and English still do the same thing. Pubs are used to meet for community business, for social gatherings and festivals - and they dance and have music.) I do know they also put together wooden floored dance platforms out in the open air - typically somewhere on someone's farm where they had appropriate situation and centrality to the community at large. These structures raised platforms were built at times of harvest or at big gatherings where people would have a night of dancing and music. The tradition in 19th and 20th centuries was to build a town hall (public house) or use a barn that had wooden flooring put in. Post WW2 era, they actually built a civic house to formally use as a dance hall or have a room dedicated to community dancing events like VFW hall, Elks club, etc. Dancing became more frequent. I currently live in Maryland near the Appalachians (I can see Catoctin Mountain from my home) and they have a town hall and a civic room upstairs is used both for town-hall public meetings on some nights and on other nights it is used for a dance hall. They don't clog around here as far as I know, because they are mostly German Lutherans. But they have some square-dance clubs and other dances.
Clog dancing as the word suggests was done by ordinary folk wearing proper clogs made off strong leather with studs on the soles and heels for strength and wear and tear so they lasted longer. My Dad used to wear them for work on the farm in the late 1950s and into the 1960s and my younger brother and I had a pair each when small as they were hard wearing and good for our feet. My mum had worn them for years too ad did all her family and learned clog dancing from an early age. She was born in 1919. Clogs were mainly worn by the working class in various jobs such as on the land, factories any such blue collar work. I loved my clogs when I was young and they were comfortable. I never learnt to clog dance though wish I had x
I agree that it would be nice to,have heard the clogging. The music and or the crowd drowned out the clogging tap to the point I’d ask, “did they even make any tap/clicking noise??? WTH.?
Certainly shows how much influence from the UK is inherent in western style music and dancing. That could easily be Highland dancing but for the music.
You north americans take dance as a very serious thing in life. You make it into a really art. Congrats for your respect for dance and dancers.
They are so good, totally in sync.
Thank you, ladies, for all your hard hours of practice so we can enjoy your performance.
Still making people smile 7 years later. 🌻🌻🌻
I love clogging in particular the mountain folk.
I used to do clogging in 4-H, but our leader graduated... at that point, it was just me, my best friend, and our student leader. We didn’t even have a real leader, but I miss it SO MUCH.

The smiles make all the difference.

Theres more than a few Irish steps in there and tap, its fantastic.
