    Amazing to see the link of the mountain goat footing here in the mountains of North Carolina to the Scottish blood of early settlers here in the USA. I love it and could dance and here the fiddles all day. Beautiful talent and hello from North Carolina USA

      ruclips.net/video/knlx8L-8BPo/видео.html
      Clogging is a lot more forceful or energetic, with more up & down movements than side to side, often pounding down on the floor hard & bouncing up too. Look it up & enjoy! 😀👍💛 This is exactly how I clog in Western North Carolina since I learned in childhood, my favorite video:
