Dance Styles - Clogging
Definition
Clogging is the official state dance of Kentucky
and North Carolina.

Clogging is a type of folk dance rooted in
traditional European dancing from the British
Isles in which the dancer's footwear is used
musically by striking the heel to create audible
percussive rhythms.

Traditional Appalachian clogging is
characterized by loose, often bent knees and a
"drag-slide" motion of the foot across the floor,
and is usually performed to old-time music while
Modern clogging, also called precision clogging
is inspired by traditional styles but performed to
a wide variety of music, including bluegrass,
modern country, rock music, pop, and hip hop.

Also the style has evolved from flat foot to
dancing on the balls of your feet. Toe stands
are a recent adaptation from other dance forms.
