Fancy Footwork
What motivates you to stay healthy or get on the road to good health? I love to watch Dancing With the Stars. I wish I had an ounce of that ability. They are in such good shape.
Our county fair has a clogging exhibition that lets all the cloggers in our area show off their stuff. There are classes through the 4H extension office where you can learn to clog. It looks like such good exercise to keep your heart healthy.
Clogging is a traditional type of percussive folk dance which is associated with a number of different regions across the world. In earlier periods it was not always called “clogging”, being known variously as flat-footing, foot-stomping, buck dancing,clog dancing, jigging, or other local terms. What all these had in common was emphasizing the downbeat of the music by enthusiastic footwork.As for the shoes many old clogging shoes had no taps.Some were made of leather and velvet.The soles of the shoes were either wooden or hard leather.
Have you ever tried clogging?
