Flatfooting Improvisation and Repertoire

Those who have just come to the first hour of class, or those who are familiar with City Stompers classes and feel warmed up and ready for an hour of dancing should come to this second hour of class.

The focus for this hour is on improvisation and group dances. Classes often conclude with square dancing with footwork.

Although the class is usually attended by adults, children who can focus on the instruction for the duration of a class are indeed welcome.

Footwear

Clogging is a percussive dance form. The sounds you make with your feet become part of the musical experience, so it is best to wear tap shoes for classes with the City Stompers. But if you don’t have taps yet, you can wear leather soled shoes. They should be comfortable, well fitting and low heeled. The sole should be smooth and not grip the floor, so running shoes and any other kind of rubber soled shoes would not be appropriate.

We have several pairs of tap shoes at the studio in various men’s and women’s sizes. If we happen to have your size, you are welcome to borrow shoes when you come to dance with us.
