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 - the clog dance. For conductor and musician Charles Hazlewood, 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.
