About Clog Dance:
Clog dancing is dancing whilst wearing clogs. The rigid nature of the clogs and their percussive sound when dancing on a hard surface has given rise to a number of distinct styles, including the following:
Clog dancing, a Welsh and Northern English step dance danced in clogs.
Clogging, an American style which is not necessarily danced in clogs.
Klompendansen, a Dutch style of dance.
Morris dance, sometimes danced in clogs.
Tap dance, which developed in part out of clog dancing.
English clog dancing began in 18th century England during the Industrial Revolution.It is thought to have developed in the Lancashire cotton mills where wooden-soled clogs were preferred to leather soles because the floors were kept wet to help keep the humidity high, important in cotton spinning.At their breaks and lunches, they would have competitions, where they were judged on the best rhythm patterns. Workers, wearing their working clogs would perform in the street, in pubs, and during social occasions. For example, in Lancashire, wooden-soled clogs were worn in the mills, and on Dartmoor, hard-soled leather shoes or boots would have been worn for farming. By the late 1800s, they clog danced on proper stages at competitions. In these competitions, the judges would watch the routine and judge it according to footwork, precision, and technique. Clog dancers were a common sight at music halls throughout the 19th century and into the early 20th century. One such group was The Eight Lancashire Lads which included a young Charlie Chaplin as one of its members. Dan Leno became the world champion clog dancer in the 1880s, although records show that competitive clog dancing was a frequent occurrence throughout the 19th century.

Steps and tune from Wales (and it isn't morris dance, although clog dancers often associate with morris dancers). Love it.
