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.

Clogging: What Is It? Clogging: What Is It? by Marilyn Devin (from an article that first appeared in Folk Dance Scene Magazine) What do Cloggers Look Like? Footwear - NOT Wooden Shoes! The Leader, or Cuer Music: It Takes All Kinds ... Clogging in the USA Also called "Hillbilly Tapdancing," clogging is an authentic and distinctive form of American folk dance. Clogging has roots that reach back to our Scots-Irish and European heritage; yet at the same time, the clogging that's performed and enjoyed across the United States today has such a contemporary feel that even teenage kids have been known to desert MTV and hustle down to the school auditorium for an evening's dancing. What Do Cloggers Look Like? If you've ever seen a group of enthusiastic cloggers kicking up their heels, you probably haven't forgotten it. You'll have noticed, among other things, that cloggers don't look like the little dolls that dance out of cuckoo clock windows in pigtails and aprons; unless they're performing in a show, they dress like any other casual dancer. When cloggers do wear costumes, their clothes are something like square dance attire: typical for the women are ginghams tops or peasant blouses; the skirts are full, frequently with crinolines, and somewhat shorter than the usual square dance outfits; for men, it's jeans, plaid shirts, and maybe string ties or some other such Western touch. Another thing you'll remember if you've ever seen clogging is its most significant characteristic: foot stomping.

Characterized by loose ankle movements which cause the sole of the shoe to make multiple sounds, dances which use the foot to make beating sounds are a feature of most cultures. From the European clogging dances to the sophisticated rhythms of African dances and the high art of East Indian classical dance, we love to make noise with our feet! Step dancing is popular among the Acadian, Scottish and Irish cultures in Nova Scotia. The Cape Breton style is "close to the floor" using neat, small steps and a relaxed upper body, while the Irish use a freer leg and rigid torso. Clogging, the most energetic and flamboyant form of step dance is a recent importation from the Appalachian area of the United States, although its roots are also in the Scottish and Irish cultures.

14. Clogging It’s not important what you do, just that you keep time,” says Jane George, who spent decades teaching clogging and other mountain dance in rural schools. http://www.aldha.org/clogging.htm

Cloggers shuffle and skip to save Appalachian tradition By Angela Charlton The Associated Press Charlestown, W.Va., June 1997 OAL MINERS do it. Librarians do it. Politicians do it. Some keep their feet barely on the floor, heels and toes thumping with dizzying speed, torsos virtually motionless. Others skip and stomp, or slap their thighs. They’re clogging, and carrying on an old Appalachian tradition. “You don’t need fancy clothes or fancy steps. It’s not important what you do, just that you keep time,” says Jane George, who spent decades teaching clogging and other mountain dance in rural schools. Clogging and its kin are becoming more popular because of standardized steps and increasing interest in southern Appalachian heritage. The dances are no longer relegated to barns and back porches. Millions watched a North Carolina clogging group kick and click at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. The Irish group Riverdance, with its modern version of the jig that inspired American clogging, earned a Grammy and a spot on this year’s Academy Awards program. Rep. Bob Wise, D-W.Va., clogged his way to Capitol Hill. Wise is often called “The Clogging Congressman” for dancing through campaign events and small-town parades.
