Are you familiar with clogging? If you are not, then you must watch a professional clogger’s performance and be mesmerized.
Clog dancing or clogging is one American dance that originated in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina.
This dance is characterized by percussive footwork and is quite fun to watch that you don’t want to blink so you won’t miss anything.
Performing this dance, especially with a partner, can be pretty challenging. The dancers need to have great skills to be synchronized and pull off a remarkable show for the audience. When you are going to perform in a competition, there is no room for mistakes as much as possible, and performers must impress not only the judges but the crowd.
The clogging sisters are extraordinary.
Kaylee and Lauren Thomas are skilled cloggers who love to compete in this type of dance. With their effort and skills, they have already won various competitions. They are also recognized as the National Champion Duo! You cannot disagree with their recent performance.
These Kentucky sisters look so identical, making the show more interesting.
It is hard to tell who’s who sometimes, and this means that watching them on stage feels like you are watching one person in double images.
To begin their performance, they make some quick moves to set the mood for some great clogging. With the music and speedy footwork, along with the rhythm of their feet, you become more interested in watching them. They make you want to join them too.
The champion cloggers spin around and do their routine with both hands and feet.
Clogging is not just a foot dance as compared to tap dancing which is focused on the feet. Clogging involves the different parts of the body.
Watching the sisters perform their routine, they continue to spin and dance. They also make use of hand movements as they keep their feet moving simultaneously.
They are dancing to “Hold My Hand” by Jess Glynne that’s why you can see them holding each other’s hands most of the time.
The camera is shaking each time they stomp their feet forcefully on the stage.
Their performance looks powerful with the way they move forcefully and effortlessly on stage. They also add various elements to their routine like spinning and jumping, aside from stomping, making it extremely fun to watch. You can tell that they have spent several days perfecting the choreography of this clogging routine.
A much-appreciated aspect of their performance is their synchronization.
The sisters often make identical moves. It looks like they mimic or mirror each other making the routine very interesting, especially for those who have never seen an excellent clogging performance.
It’s undeniable how much they have prepared for the competition.
Telling them apart is difficult at times because of the same clothing they wear along with their synchronized movements. Anyone in the audience would not be able to readily tell who’s Lauren or Kaylee. But what is great about these sisters is that they exert the same energy and ability on stage, making them quite fantastic as a duo.
They work as a team, which is why they are successful in every competition they join in.
