Tap Dancing to 'Walk the Dinosaur' by Was (Not Was)

#Clogging is a type of #American folk dance with percussive foot-tapping. It has its roots in the dance of the #Irish, #Scottish, #English and #Dutch-#German settlers and it was the social dance in the #Appalachian Mountains as early as the 18th century. Accompanied by rousing fiddle and bluegrass music, clogging was a means of personal expression in a land of newfound freedoms. Here is the performance of Blue Ridge Mountain Dancers with Pete Seeger shot in 1964. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
