Clog dancing's big street revival
Britain's cottonmill workers used to dance it. Then it became a mark of shame. Now clog dancing has returned to where it belongs – the streets

"People forget that clogging was originally a street dance," Connolly says. "It was competitive, it was cool, and now young people are beginning to rediscover it for themselves. As soon as we finished, I had kids coming up to me saying: that's sick – I want to do that. Clog dancing's sick!"
