The Collegiate Times, VA Along with performing traditional clogging, the Hoorahs wear old-fashioned costumes to reflect the origins of the Everyone loves to dance. Whether you’re shakin’ it at dance. “Men wear jeans, a shirt with the sleeves rolled up, Woody’s or saving yourself from embarrassment and just suspenders and a handkerchief in their back pocket. Women getting down in the privacy of your own room, we all seem wear a calico dress that comes down to about their knees,” to enjoy this creative art of free expression. Well, what about Waite said. “In our group, the women wear either socks or taking a step forward and learning a different kind of dance, black tights and bloomers. Everyone wears black flat taps, or should I say taking a step back in time to explore some which is again different from modern cloggers who wear traditional dancing styles? white jingle taps.” The Hoorah Cloggers is a diverse group of people that The group as a whole is very compatible. “We tend to be performs traditional styles of dancing, mostly flatfooting and very tolerant and open-minded and therefore attract others clogging, with a few members who perform buck dancing who share that mindset. We have had many international and tap. All of these dances are percussive dances with subtle students in our group through the years and that has been a variations in the style. lot of fun to share cultures,” Waite said. After talking to Kerry Waite, an active member of the Hoorah The Hoorahs seem to be extremely enthusiastic and like to Cloggers and graduate student in veterinary medical science, have a great time on stage. “The comment that I hear most I became much more intrigued and knowledgeable of what often is ‘Wow! You all look like you are having so much these dances were all about. fun!’ And, yeah, we are having so much fun,” Waite said. “Clogging originated from Ireland and England and was brought to America with the settlers. The people who originally settled down along the coast of America brought dancing with them, and this dancing evolved into different styles throughout different regions,” Waite explained. “For example, this is how Canadian Step dancing got all the way up north yet closely resembles Irish Step dancing, and clogging/flatfooting emerged in the south.” The Hoorah Cloggers is a very fun group and is always looking for new members, students or non-students. “No experience is necessary to join our group. You just need an interest and some time to dedicate to learning,” Waite said. When asked how the group originated Waite responded, “Ironically, the Hoorahs are known as a ‘traditional’ clogging group. This is as opposed to modern clogging — the differ- ence being our costumes and style of dance.” The group began in 1975, and “many members who have graduated and moved away continue to come back and perform as guest performers whenever they can — that’s how much they love it!” Waite said. Currently, there are 15 to 20 active members and over 100 alumni. “We always perform to live music — that is a defining characteristic between traditional clogging and modern clogging actually. Modern cloggers typically perform a specific routine to a specific recorded song and without calls. Traditional clogging is danced to live old-time music, any routine can go to any song, and we have a caller in the group who calls out the moves. The band plays until the routine is finished,” Waite said. The group can also get quite creative and perform on an individual level. “The band may play and the group may come Photos: Top: A Vintage picture of the Hoorah Cloggers out and everyone dances solo without a routine.

The Miami County Cloggers from Paola, KS attend every year and have become one of the main acts of the festival for the last five years.

Scott Morris, Daily Journal Noted author and host of PBS’ Prairie Home Companion Garrison Keilor shed some light on the roots of Rock ‘n’ Roll pioneer Elvis Presley’s high energy stage moves during a recent interview. ”It’s amazing how much he took out of Tupelo that people outside didn’t understand,” he said. “Those stage moves of his that got him in trouble when he went to New York and was on The Ed Sullivan Show,’ that gyration he did really came from clog dancing. ”It came from buck dancing that he picked up in Tupelo. It’s something a lot of people did. Men prided themselves on being able to do buck dancing and slap their thighs and twist and gyrate and do all that,” Keillor said. “Elvis just put it to a slightly different beat, with more of a backbeat to it.” Fans of Elvis and “A Prairie Home Companion” know the music Send us your closest to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s heart also has a high-profile spot on the show. ”Gospel music was always his favorite music,” Keillor said. “He didn’t do it in his Las Vegas shows or in his movies pics & news because Elvis had a real sense of propriety about gospel music.

Rachel certainly filled the requirements with each member voting and taking in consideration every aspect for this award. Watching Rachel dance definitely motivates one to want to join her or, at least, get a clap or pat of the foot and, at times, even to come to the edge of their seat. She is vivacious and vigorous and expressive in her dancing as well as using all of her effort and expertise in executing her steps and style with perfect accurateness. She obviously displays an inspirational enthusiasm that takes in all of the intensity, eagerness, zeal and fervor of a dancer who feels the music and loves the dance itself. Rachel is quite an exceptional and exciting clogger - a good example of a “showoff’. She is very dedicated and loyal, not only to the dance, but to her team to whom she has only been a member for 1 1/2 years. Rachel began clog classes with Anna Wells after her older sister Courtney started the lessons. Rachel actually started late after the classes had already begun, but that did not slow
