#Clogging is a type of #American folk dance with percussive foot-tapping. It has its roots in the dance of the #Irish, #Scottish, #English and #Dutch-#German settlers and it was the social dance in the #Appalachian Mountains as early as the 18th century. Accompanied by rousing fiddle and bluegrass music, clogging was a means of personal expression in a land of newfound freedoms. Here is the performance of Blue Ridge Mountain Dancers with Pete Seeger shot in 1964. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

Have a nice day! 🌷🇳🇱🧀 This brings back fond memories of my childhood in The Netherlands Michigan. They had boy and girl Klompers in traditional dress, dancing during Tulip Festival. I loved the parks filled with tulips, and visiting the tulip fields and windmills.
