Clogging

Clogging is a traditional American folk dance characterized by rhythmic footwork and precise, coordinated movements. It often involves striking the heel, toe, or ball of the foot against a hard surface in time with music, creating a percussive sound. Dancers typically perform in groups and use intricate steps that emphasize rhythm and timing. Originating from Appalachian and Southern traditions, clogging has evolved into a dynamic dance style seen in various forms today, blending cultural influences while maintaining its energetic footwork and emphasis on musicality.
