We Didn't Know What To Expect When They Said They'd Be Clogging. But Then The Music Started.

Have you ever witnessed a large group of people performing what is known as clogging? If you have, then you are well aware of just how mesmerizing it can be. The way that cloggers move their feet swiftly and deftly to the music is really impressive.
Clogging began in the 1700s and is a dance that requires the dancer to wear a certain shoe. This footwear gives the dancer the ability to tap their toe, heel, or both as they dance, creating an amazingly catchy tune as they move.
While it may sound like tap dancing, it is totally different.
A clogger will make most of their sounds from their heels, whereas a tap dancer will use the balls of the feet much more. Additionally, clogging requires more than one person. Tap dancing can be performed as a solo.

A group based in Lincoln, Nebraska has recently blown away viewers who have been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of them online. "Tap This!" is a group of 14 amazingly talented cloggers. While we have always enjoyed the moves and sounds cloggers can make, watching this group is really something special.
Our jaws dropped straight to the floor after watching them perform.
Every single person in Tap This! has been a clogger for at least five years. They have been traveling all around the country to show off their amazing moves and skills. The group has a social media page that provides locations, dates, and times for all of their performances.
The group is also a four-time national champion in their niche. They have remained undefeated and have outshined every other group in the clogging world.
When you watch the video for yourself you will see why that is! Viewers can't believe just how good the group really is.
One viewer commented that they replayed the video so much they probably broke their "replay" button. Another wrote that you can see how much they enjoy dancing in the video. Some commenters even reminisced about the times they used to clog themselves. The choreographed dance is performed to "Honey I'm Good," a song by Andy Grammar. Watch as the high energy of the group leads to creative steps and fast moves.
It is truly a sight to witness for yourself!
