Learn more about clog dancing

Clog dancing is a traditional folk dance characterized by rhythmic footwork and the distinctive sound of wooden-soled shoes striking the ground. Originating in England, Scotland, and parts of Europe, clog dancing has deep historical roots and was often performed by laborers in the industrial era to create music while working. The dance involves a series of intricate steps and taps, where dancers use the heels and toes of their shoes to produce beats in time with the music. Clog dancing is typically performed to fast-paced folk music, sometimes accompanied by live instruments like fiddles or tambourines. Over time, it evolved into a more stylized, formal performance art, with regional variations, such as North American Appalachian clogging. Today, clog dancing is enjoyed as both a cultural expression and a lively, energetic form of entertainment, often seen in folk festivals, competitions, and social gatherings.
