While clog dancing’s history can be traced back to Wales and the north of England, surrounding regions were quick to pick up on the style and inject their own style and flair into it. It didn’t take long for it to become a well-known part of culture. It’s a type of dance that takes quite a lot to stomp, shuffle, and kick in rhythm.
