Ever seen clog dancers and thought ‘I want to have a go at that’? If you’re new to, or returning to clogging, forge & fledge clogs is the place for you. The six group provides a safe and encouraging space to explore the varied clogging styles and repertoires found around England. Each week we'll compare different styles and learn new steps. This is a mixed ability group and everyone supports each other to get a bit better from where they are. We'll work towards finished routines for display, but its mostly about exploring this amazingly rich tradition and having a good old dance.
(You don't need to have clogs, or commit to buying a pair – just wear hard soled shoes)
