The Group
Our group was formed in 1991. Now well established it comprises some 13 regular enthusiasts
Here we are at the Irish American bluegrass festival in Omagh, Ireland.
As a "precision clog" group we synchronise percussive step accompaniment with music.
Dances are exuberant so our audiences are assured of a high energy performance which will leave them elated and calling for more.
Check out the video on the web site home page.
The
dance originated in the Appalachian Mountains through
many different influences. Those with workday boots danced in them whilst
poorer performers danced in bare feet.
Today the dance is more stylised and cloggers wear leather shoes tapped at heel and toe.
We dance-out at a broad spectrum of events, celebrations, carnivals, festivals.
Fee-based
or fund-raising, no booking is too small or large.
We are proud to say we are invited back by many organizations year after year.
