Clog dancing is a folk dance that originated in Europe and is also part of early African-American dance. It is performed wearing traditional wooden shoes and involves striking the heels, toes, or both against the floor to create rhythmic percussion. While some believe it originated in the Netherlands, there are many regional variations. Clog dancing can be seen at cultural festivals, dance halls, or events focused specifically on clogging. It is often passed down through families or learned in classes, and is a form of exercise enjoyed by many.
