Clogging is a type of folk dance with roots in traditional European dancing, early African-American dance, and traditional Cherokee dance in which the dancer's footwear is used musically by striking the heel, the toe, or both in unison against a floor or each other to create audible percussive rhythms.

  • Clogging ist ein nordamerikanischer Stepptanz, der sich aus verschiedenen europäischen Volkstanzformen entwickelt hat. Diese Tanzart wurde ursprünglich auch als Flat-footing, Foot-stomping, Buck dancing, Jigging oder mit anderen lokalen Ausdrücken bezeichnet. Allen Varianten gemeinsam ist die Betonung des ganzen Taktschlags der Musik (downbeat) durch ausgeprägte Fußarbeit. Clogging unterscheidet sich vom „normalen“ Stepptanz durch besondere Platten an den Schuhen (so genannte Jingle-Taps). Die Cloggingtaps besitzen neben den beiden festen Metallplatten an Ferse und Fußspitze zwei weitere, locker damit verbundene Platten. Dadurch entsteht schon ein Geräusch, wenn man den Fuß nur in der Luft bewegt, ohne den Boden zu berühren. Aus der Tradition heraus ist Clogging eher kein Show- sondern ein Volkstanz, wie bei den meisten Siedlertänzen. Allerdings haben mittlerweile viele moderne Tanzarten das Clogging beeinflusst, so dass neben der traditionellen Country-/Bluegrass-Musik gerne zu moderner Popmusik getanzt wird und auch Elemente von Jazz und Hip Hop in heutigen Choreographien zu finden sind. Sehr beliebt ist auch eine stärkere Betonung zum Irish Dance in Bezug auf Musikauswahl und Tanzstil. In Europa sind viele Clogging-Gruppen traditionell an Square-Dance-Vereine angegliedert, doch sind sie mittlerweile auch häufig in Turnvereinen und Tanzschulen zu finden.
  • Clogging is a type of folk dance with roots in traditional European dancing, early African-American dance, and traditional Cherokee dance in which the dancer's footwear is used musically by striking the heel, the toe, or both in unison against a floor or each other to create audible percussive rhythms. The dance has fused with similar dances such as the peruvian dance "zapateo" (which may in itself be a derivate of very early european clog dances), this resulted in the birth of newer street dances, such as tap, locking, jump, stomping and the nordic track dance. The use of clogs is rarer in the more modern dances since clog shoes seem no longer to be a fashion in urban society (of which most dances are now evolving from). Clogging in its main form is often considered the first dance to be classed as a street dance, this is since it evolved in urban environments during the industrial revolution due to urbanisation. Clogging was social dance in the Appalachian Mountains as early as the 18th century. As the clogging style has migrated over the years, many localities have made contributions by adding local steps and rhythms to the style. Welsh seamen appear to have adopted a dance very early on and may have been those who introduced it to the British Isles. As the dance migrated to England in the 15th century, the all-wooden clog was replaced by a leather-topped shoe with a one-piece wooden bottom. By the 16th century a more conventional leather shoe with separate wooden pieces on the heel and toe called "flats" became popular, from where the terms "heel and toe" and "flat footing" derive. In later periods it was not always called "clogging", being known variously as flat-footing, foot-stomping, buck dancing, clog dancing, jigging, or other local terms. What all these had in common was emphasizing the downbeat of the music by enthusiastic footwork. As for the shoes many old clogging shoes had no taps and some were made of leather and velvet, while the soles of the shoes were either wooden or hard leather.
