Traditional forms of percussive dance including Appalachian, English, Welsh, Cornish and Irish. Some dances, especially the English, Welsh and Cornish are performed wearing traditional clogs but many just wear hard shoes or boots with taps. The Appalachian form is commonly called clogging although clogs are not worn.
