Thanks. I saw it as soon as I clicked "post". I tried to stop the post because I felt so silly. LOL Oh, well. My students think I'm silly too, so it's all good :)
i learned the same routine from jeff driggs here in minnesota, US that was really fun to learn, try google-ing him! im a 13 year old clogger and love it!!
I remember this being taught at Kinross a few years ago... I would have loved to learn it but back then I couldn't clog very well :) It's a great dance though.
Sorry to sound really thick, but I am only familiar with tap dance.....I've only recently become aware of 'clogging'-obviously there's different names for steps and the shoes are making a heavier sound......but why the seperation from tap dance???
well tap actually came ffrom clogging, im not sure what you mean, but try searching stompers on google and you'll see the shoes. but depending on where your from, makes a difference for the names and steps, like i say shuffle step, some ppl say double-step google clogging for alot of info
The rhythm in clogging is different than tap. When I go from teaching a clogging class to assisting in a tap class, I have to remember to only make two sounds with a "flap" as opposed to three sounds with a "double step". The heavier sound comes from a double tap as opposed to a single tap. Also, clogging has an up-aand-down motion to the body whereas tap does not. Cloggers don't use their arms as much and when they are used, they are stiffer. Hope that answers your question :) I love both.
This is a workshop, isn't it??? I've only been to one, but they're fantastic. The only problem was that my clogging teacher renames half her steps so some of them, when the director yells out steps, were hard to get... :)
Workshop it is :) Most clogging instructors in Australia are members of the Australian Clogging Association (ACA) which standardises names of steps and, if you're a choreographer, you get your sheets 'stamped' or approved. That way everyone's talking the same language - means much more satisfying when you dance
I live in the US and they use the same names. My clogging instructor was NOT asked to direct, but our group, traveling a long ways, performed there. Are there alotta kid-cloggers in Australia? I know in the states, there aren't a lot (with the exception of my area, where most kids clog).
Very cool!!! :)
I would love to get into clooging!!! :)
I have tried a couple of clogging classes (Barry Amato and Junior Willis) at the big Line Dance events and loved it!!!

Good intermediate routine. I recognize every step in that dance, but the names are a little different than I'm familiar with.
Good song to. I think I might have to practice this one and bring it to my group!
