Subject: RE: Clogging question?
Hmm - Sussex step dancing - a la Scan Tester maybe? That's my home county - who are those teaching / learning it? I know that there is a Sussex stick dance called 'Over the Sticks' and also a broom dance. but I wasn't aware that there is any step dancing left.

Yes - Sarah is a good contact for English clogging / step dancing.

The other Romany step dancing from Zeal near Dartmoor is Tommy Orchard - he's on YouTube. And I have hours of footage of him which I must upload sometime. I've even seen (filmed) his kids (now grown up) who step dance in trainers! And very good they were too

But you ask about clog dancing. Yes - try the Chelmsford Ladies. Whilst they do do clog morris they also do step clog dancing. And they might be able to put you in touch with other clog dancers.

Meanwhile have a look at my work in progress at chrisjbrady DOT com
