The Texas Folklife
Festival celebrates the diverse cultural groups that combine to give
Fire on the
Mountain Cloggers have been proud participants since 1983. We usually debut at least one routine at the
Texas Folklife Festival and our new number called Celtic Clog, featured
both Irish dance steps and Appalachian style clogging performed to authentic
Irish music. Irish “leaps” and hard shoe steps
were mingled with old time clogging. One
group of dancers performed all traditional flat-foot clogging steps low to the
ground while the others leaped and twirled with a few high kicks added for good
measure.
