Clog Dancing
Clog dancing is a toe tapping dance, a lot like tap dancing. Tap shoes can be used, or you can use shoes that have jingle taps. While you are learning wear any shoe with a smooth bottom so you can start to listen to the rhythm your feet make, then you can decide which shoe you want for dancing. This is a laid back group of dancers willing to help you learn this Appalachian style dance. We will meet Wednesday’s, except the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
