Clog on TV

Come clog dancing was on tv again last night.

Watched it again 'understanding' more. Focusing on bits I wouldn't have focused on before.
And if you haven't watched it yet...I challenge you to watch it and not go 'ooh, I want to try that'. ;)


Caught the end of the folk prom too (clogging there)...will have to watch that on i-player.

On another note did a slow 'dance through' all the steps including double shuffle all in order. Unfortunately I don't have it all memorized yet still need the book in front of me.

Strictly Clog Dancing

So I saw 'Come Clog Dancing' on the BBC and it made me think 'Yeah I want to try that'.

It was definitely English Step Clog I wanted to do rather than NW morris clog or Appalacian.

First thing I did was order clogs from Trefor Owen.

And several months later they arrived. Aren't they pretty?


My second though was 'Get some lessons or to a workshop' now problem is asking around takes time...and I seem to have missed a lot of stuff earlier in the year. So gotta wait and wait and wait around for workshops.
So decided to be pro-ctive. Couldn't find any youtube tutorials but found a DVD/book for beginners.
So have decided to get it, that way I can work at my own pace and might have a chance of picking it up in a group or workshop situation.

More updates soon.
