Hi! My name is Martha Hemmingway and I am the director of the Happy Feet Cloggers. This is a performing adult clogging group from Fairfax, Virginia.

Happy Feet was first started back in September of 2000. So, I have been clogging for little over eight years now and I have also been teaching dance and choreographing for about the last 20 years.

Today, we are going to learn many different kinds of clogging steps. You are going to learn the double step and the rock step. You are going to learn whats called a stump and a brush-up. You are also going to learn whats called a touch heel. Then we are going to do a little bit of moving. I am going to show you some clogging steps where you actually turn in a circle, then you learn some clogging steps where you will travel from side to side, and then we get to my favorite part, I am going to teach two clogging steps that my ultimate favorites, one is called the hippity hop the other one is called shave and a haircut. By the way thats what I started with; it was a shave and haircut at the beginning of this segment.

First of all, I think it is important to talk about clogging shoes. So, lets take a look at some clogging shoes.
