You might not know this, but the culture of Canada is filled with activities like step dancing as well as fiddling. This is because of the generations of immigrants that have come to the area from parts of the world like Ireland, France, and even Scotland. Because of this, Canada is filled with dance studios that teach the cultural activity of Irish dancing.

Although there are many different styles of dance that people can choose to learn, the popularity of Irish step dancing is only growing each year. The dance style is especially popular with children, and many kids get their first start at the sport of dancing with these Irish dance lessons. Sometimes people like to make the dance style their own, adding a unique flair to the traditional and cultural tradition. One twist that people like to put on Irish dancing is to develop and perform an acapella segment using clogging!

What's so interesting about this type of dance is that the only sound that can be heard from the scene comes from the dancer’s feet clogging on the floor!

In this particular style of dance, participants make varying noises with the metal bottoms of their clogging shoes. Some of these sounds can be crystal clear and solid, and some of them can be extremely light taps that can barely be heard, but make a huge impact on the routine overall!

The choreography can vary greatly, ranging from the dancers making all of the same sounds simultaneously to each dancer making a different sound in order to come together and make beautiful music.

It’s an extremely unique approach to dancing, and there’s nothing quite like it!
