  • The History and Evolution of Clogging
    The History and Evolution of Clogging An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Lindsay Schultz Thesis Advisor Ball State University Muncie, Indiana Presented: December 2009 Graduation: May 2010 · .::: 'I Abstract Dancing is a wonderful way for people to express themselves. There are so many styles of dance in our world today, and each ofthese dance styles had to evolve from something before it. That is how a new dance is born. Old styles of dance are changed or combined to form something new and different. In order for everyone to appreciate dance, it is important for them to be exposed to many styles of dance and learn how it evolved. This helps people understand why each dance style is special and unique. Clogging is one style of dance that is not as well known in the United States by most people in the general public. This thesis project is made to showcase this wonderful style of dance as well as educate the public about what clogging is and where it came from. I will present the findings from my research about the evolution of clogging, show a video of traditional Irish dancing (which greatly influenced clogging), as well as perform a modem clogging routine I choreographed myself. I want everyone to hear about the history as well as see what clogging looks like today in order to gain a greater appreciation for this special dance style. 2 Acknowledgments -I would like to thank Mr. Greg Lund for working with me as my advisor on this project. He was helpful in providing ideas, research materials, and a place for me to showcase my thesis project.

I hope you enjoy the class and thank you again for coming. Kelli McChesney, National Instructor Gainesville, Florida [email protected] http://www.kellimcchesney.com/ A BRIEF HISTORY OF CLOGGING Written and researched by Kelli McChesney Clogging is a folk dance similar to tap and Irish step dancing. It is making rhythmic tapping sounds with the feet. Clogging is said to have originated in the Lancashire regions of England during the Industrial Revolution. Mill workers during this time wore wooden shoes, called "clogs," to protect their feet from the harsh environment. After getting off work, the workers danced on the stone streets in small contests to see who could make the most intricate sounds. Often they tried to imitate the sounds the mill machines made. As the speed of the steps increased, the clogs proved to be dangerous and were replaced with soft leather shoes with hard soles. English copper pennies were then screwed on the heels and toes of the shoes to emphasize the sounds. Eventually, the pennies were replaced with metal "taps." With influences of many European folk dances, clogging has evolved through the years into different styles.

  • BASIC CLOGGING TERMINOLOGY All Clogging Steps Are Made up of Some Combination of the Following Basic Movements
    BASIC CLOGGING TERMINOLOGY All clogging steps are made up of some combination of the following basic movements. The movements themselves fall into two groups -Toe Movements and Heel Movements. Each Toe Movement occurs on an upbeat of the music and is followed by a Heel Movement which occurs on the downbeat of the music. The rhythm of the dance is kept by the heel. Anytime the heel is sounded, the knee is flexed and then straightened on the following upbeat, resulting in the characteristic up and down motion of the dancer's body. The word "click" is used in the descriptions below to indicate that a tap has contacted the floor. All clicks should have a sharp, clear sound, not scuffed or muffled. This is the beginning of the traditional drag/slide motion. HEEL MOVEMENTS These fall on the downbeat (or bass beat) of the music (usually on the whole beat ie. 1) HEEL CLICK The weight of the body is already on the ball of the foot when the HEEL movement is done. Quickly lift and snap the heel down, producing a sharp click, and flex the knee downward, distributing the body weight along the entire length of the foot. STEP Place the entire foot flat on the floor, producing a click with the toe tap and the heel tap at the same time and transferring the body weight along the full length of the foot while flexing the knee downward. TOE MOVEMENTS These generally fall on the upbeat of the music (usually on the half beat &) TOE The ball of the foot produces a click while the heel remains out of contact with the floor.
