When Sam Sherry began teaching a new generation of clog dancers as part of the folk revival he quickly found that he needed a set of simple steps to teach to beginners. He composed this routine from steps he learned from his father together with published material from Julian Pilling and one of Vional Marhoff’s steps acquired from Geoff Hughes. The sources are dealt with in the notation booklet.
A number of videos of Sam and others performing the routine are also avaiable through the tabs below.
