clog dancing
Rhythmic wooden footwear
Clog dancing is a folk dance performed in wooden-soled shoes, emphasizing rhythmic footwork that produces percussive sounds.
The dancer's feet become instruments, striking the floor in intricate patterns.
Traditional in parts of Britain, Ireland, and Appalachia, it influenced American tap dancing: She learned clog dancing at a folk festival in Wales.
