Reading Clog and Traditional Step Dance Group

AKA the Reading Cloggies. Formed in the mid 1960s the group performed regularly until the early 2000s. Known for their attention to detail each of their dances was carefully researched. Individual members also became researcher in their own right and some are members of the Instep Research Team.

The team also organised the Reading Day of Dance from 1979 to 2002 to which numerous traditional clog and step dancers were invited to perform and which became a pattern followed by other similar events in later years.

Many film clips of the team exist. The following are filmed by Paula Earwicker and are used with her permission.
