Whether you admit it or not, everyone likes to dance.
Sometimes it will just take over your body without you even realizing it.
It could be something as subtle as tapping your foot at the bar while an artist plays guitar in the corner or bobbing your head to the music while walking through a supermarket.
The point is, humans were born to be dancers.
In fact, according to parents.com, babies start to dance within as little as 15 months.
โMoving to the beat means your child has discovered a fun way to challenge his body and is learning to integrate a variety of movements into sequences, notes Dr. Prosser. Typically, a toddler will start dancing between 15 and 20 months. Encourage your child by playing a variety of music in your home and returning to the tunes he likes best.โ
Some of us continue to dance as we get older and become extremely talented.
This was the case for the dancers that make up the group called TAP THIS!
They are a group of clog dancers who are not only good but they are arguably the best.
At the CCA Showdown in 2016, TAP THIS! won the competition and became the champions with an awesome routine to the song โHoney Iโm Goodโ by Andy Grammer.
Now, I think that a great dance routine can only be as good as the song that was chosen to dance to.
And in this case, the dancers chose the perfect song.
Itโs upbeat, fun, and catchy, which led to lots of energy and some awesome clogging.
The routine starts with just as much energy as it ends.
The group is dressed in matching blue shirts and black skirts or pants.
They start by facing away from the crowd and right when the music comes on, itโs clear that this group knows exactly what they are doing.
They jump and spin to the beat of the song and the crowd starts to cheer right away.
They move right into some quick-stepping and hold up the pace for the entire routine.
However, itโs no surprise that this group held onto the high energy while they were dancing.
Clogging is known for its quick moves and fast steps.
According to websites.iclog.us,
โClogging is an expressive style of American dance with origins in the folk dances of the British Isles, Africa, and pre-Columbian America. Settlers in the American South took elements of these styles to form a unique American dance style, Appalachian clog dancing. By the 1930s, professional dance teams had combined traditional dance steps with more contemporary figures, creating colorful and energetic routines for the stage.โ
Itโs clear that TAP THIS! kept to the roots of American clogging while still giving it a fresh and modern spin.
If you want to see some seriously impressive clogging then you have to watch this video.
