In the last decades of the 19th century there was a dance, now rarely seen, that resounded through the collieries and pit villages of the north east of England \u2013 the clog dance. For conductor and musician CHARLES HAZELWOOD, it has become an obsession and he plans to put it back on the map by staging a mass flashmob clog dance. Helped by a team of local enthusiasts led by clog dancer LAURA CONNOLLY, Charles recruits and trains 140 men and women from across the north east to ambush the public with a six-minute performance in Newcastle.
