Hi! I am Martha Hemmingway and I am teaching basic clogging steps. This is our final segment, where I thought it would be nice is to put together some of the clogging terms that you have learned earlier. We will put together a little mini routine. Instead of just doing the routine and having you follow me I am going to break each step down very, very quickly just as a review and then well put the whole thing together and of course I will queue it as we are doing it. So, lets give it start.
Okay, you are going to do two basics, and one triple stomp; double step, double step, double step, stomp, and stomp. Your right foot is free, we just going to immediately do everything starting on the other foot, two basics and triple stomp. Next, we are going to do a chain rock moving forward just a little and a fancy double and chain rock back and a fancy double. As you recall a chain rock is one double step and three rock steps. Fancy double would be on your right foot, do two double steps, two rock steps. Your right foot is still free, we are going to backup on the chain rock step and a fancy double left. Next, we are going to do two outhouses and two rocking chairs. As you recall the outhouse is the one where you start of the double step and you touch out first; start it on the right, then we go straight into two rocking chairs, double step, brush up and a basic and repeat it. We are going to add a clog over vine going to the left and then a clog over vine brining it back to the right and we will finish up with two basics and my favorite shave and a haircut, two basics left and right and probably because I will get so excited at the end of this routine and I will probably going to go clap down just because thats a neat way to end a routine.
Okay, here we go, we are going put it all together from the very beginning; five, six, two basics, go and a basic, triple stomp left, two basics, triple stomp. Now, chain rock forward, fancy double right, chain rock back, fancy double, outhouse, other foot, rocking chair, double step, brush up, and a basic, do it again, clog over vine and one and a two, and a three, and a four, and a five, and a six, and a seven. to the right, two basics, here is the grand finale.
I hope you have enjoyed clogging with me today. Clogging is absolutely my passion and I hope you have picked up the bug and as always happy clogging.

Your Videos
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your videos - they are very well demoed & easy to follow. I have taken 1 yr of the basics, but have stuggled with remembering the steps when in a dance & timing, being able to watch the video over & over & practice with you really helps to learn the steps. Thanks a bunch. Hope there are many more videos.

Clogging Video
I just enrolled in a clogging class which started several months ago. Needless to say I am behind, but these clips are a "God send". Easy to follow and understand. Thanks a bunch for your help!

Learing to Clog
I really enjoyed your instructional videos on clogging steps. I would like to suggest that you show the steps taught with music before going on to the next step. I think that it would be helpful to those of us who are talented enough to know which songs to use which steps and to just be able to practice the steps. I appreciate the time and effort that you used to teach others.
