We're so happy that the Wild Country Cloggers will once again be appearing at the Fair on Saturday and Sunday July 9 and 10, 2011.
Clogging is a European-influenced folk dancing introduced to America during the early settlement days in southern Appalachian Mountains. With influences ranging from Irish to American Indian, it has developed into a demanding and entertaining form of dance with many regional styles incorporated. It is a dance form that promotes passion and positivity.
The Wild Country Cloggers of Bennington, Vermont were established as a folk dance club in the spring of 1991 and 2011 marks their 20th year of operations. They are a not-for-profit dance company focused on the preservation and further education of American clog dancing. They have earned the title of “Vermont’s longest-running clogging competition team” and are the hosts of the regionally famous “Clog College” clogging workshop.
They offer lessons at locations in Bennington County for beginning to advanced dancers. The Wild Country Cloggers perform year-round throughout Vermont, New Hampshire, New York and Massachusetts. They also compete annually at the Northeast Clogging Competition in Nashua, NH.
