I PS ist Ro coms ssrA a CRI oJ 00 Pe She ion SPRL ie : 3 i i PORT PERRY STAR -- Tues. August 20, 1985 -- 9 Just what is clogging? What better place than a good old-fashioned country fair to learn the fine art of clogging" Clogging? It's the fastest growing form of recreational and publicly performed dan- cing in years. Clogging got its roots in the hills of Kentucky (although legend has it traced back tc various parts of Europe andthe United Kingdom). Gradually it spread through the Ap- palachians and outward until today, when it has tens of thousands of devotees across the United States and Canada. It's not stepdancing or tapdancing but it does combine basic elements of both. There are as many different styles of clogging as there are clothing, but they all have several common elements - they general- ly utilize coun- try/western/bluegrass music as the accompani- ment and the feet as the medium of expression (helped along by almost every other part of the body). There's also solo clog- ging, team clogging, clogging square dancing, exhibition clogging -- vir- tually anything can be done to this old, yet new, artform. It's infectious to watch, largely because of the beat and rhythms involved. It's also spec- tacular at times, and always entertaining to both the participant and the spectator. What's more, Scugog folks can catch a glimp- se at this unusual danc- ing at the Blackstock Fair, August 24th, at various times throughout the day and at the dance at night (from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.) The Show- stompers from the On- tario Rhythm Cloggers, a group of 16 people who have been together for four years will perform under the direction of { » Wd 4 ly \ hy Sunday or Evenings by Appointment Sylvia Hunka of Scarborough. They're an informal group of people, young and old from all walks of life who meet together several times a week to learn this new form of > recreational dancing and then practice it in- dividually, and as a group, as a form of pure entertainment. In all, well over 200 participate in the Ontario Rhythm Cloggers regularly. While the Toronto branch is the largest, there are other groups in Markham, Cambridge, and Oakville with associated organizations in Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and other provinces. Blackstock resident Moira Fallis is hoping a group can be formed in this area as well and more information about clogging can be had by The Showstompers, a group of 16 people form at the Blackstock Fair throughout the from the Ontario Rhythm Cloggers, will per- day on August 24th.
