Appalachian Clogging and Flatfooting
Saturday 9th November | Echo Echo Studios | 11am – 12noon (12yrs +, all abilities)
Flatfooting and clogging are solo, rural, freestyle forms of American percussive dance originating in the Appalachian mountains with connections to Western European, Native American and West African dance. Using the toe, heel, and ball of the foot to strike and slide across the floor, flatfooting articulates the rhythms of mountain fiddle and banjo music. Wear comfortable leather-soled shoes for this class.

Dance the Tune
(open to dancers with some percussive dance experience tap, flamenco, Irish step dance)
Monday 11th November | Echo Echo Studios | 6pm – 7pm (12yrs +)
Traversing intersections and interstices of many traditional percussive dance styles, this class explores the sheer musical potential of your feet. Using imitation and idiomatic ornaments as well as extended techniques for shoe sounds and textures, we will learn to construct lines of rhythm imitating melody as well as create rhythmic counterpoint by setting up shoe-grooves employing contemporary musical sensibility.
