Appalachian Dancers and Musicians from Bolton perform the traditional
dance and music of the Southern Appalachian Mountains of America - also
known as Appalachian Clogging.The dances incorporate the various traditions
of several European and African Countries. The dancers wear “tap”
shoes to add a percussive sound to the music. Appalachian Dancing evolved
from the “Clog” dancing common in England And Ireland and
taken to the Appalachian mountains of America by the early settlers.
The group have progressed from performing at school fetes and small
venues to shows at the Lowry Theatre in Salford, The Albert Halls in
Bolton and on TV in the BBC2 show “Let Me Entertain You”
with Brian Conley.
