| Publisher Description: 1931. From the Foreword: Clog and character dancing has its place in education as a wholesome means of expression. The clog dance is as old, if not older, than the folk dance; its development has been unrecorded, but reference to it is made in all complete historic studies of dancing. Through pantomime, tapping, and lilting step, the clog dance develops a response to music that is joyous and satisfying. It appeals to all ages, and since relaxation and perfected balance are the basis of its practice, physical well-being is assured. The book includes musical scores of clogging songs and photographs that are illustrative of the dance and time. |
