Clogging Nationals 1st Place! Bellhop

Similar to Tap Dance! It can also be called “Power Tap.” Bellhop dance at a National Clogging Competition. Quick feet, precise arm movements, and great showmanship!

[@Honeycombe88]

Just adorable. All of 'em! That took a lot of practice & work. Whoever did their costumes did a great job, too.

[@jimevans4582]

The song they are clogging to is bei mir bistu shein, translation by me you are pretty. It's a Yiddish song from 1932. Cover of this was done by The Andrew Sisters, Barry Sisters, among others. This reminds me of my youth, I'm 72 and one of the languages I spoke as a child was Yiddish.

[@WorldClassClogging]

thanks for the added info!

[@Lulu.sMusix]

That's so special. My father taught German in high school. And took our family to visit Europe and live in Spain when I was only 8 years old. I learned how much fun the different cultures were and the museums and castles fascinated me. Both my parents got into clogging when I was in high school. And I've been wanting to get back into it myself. Hopefully I will find a place to learn again here in California. 😊

I love clogging, flat footin' and tap dancing. Just folk dancing in general.

[@timothyleon558]

I was here to like mock what I was about to see. That was the stupid me .. that little cruelty in me me. These guys are amazing. Obviously a great deal of work and talent went into this. More people should see it. Bravo!

[@tobeyclark7947]

Certainly enjoyable watching these folks dance. They are totally awesome!

[@janedoe805]

They were all fabulous! When they came out with the luggage I thought they were going to do,”Shuffle Off to Buffalo”! When I heard “My Dear Mr. Shane”, I was very surprised but delighted! 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@gracie2298]

What I have watched during the pandemic has been truly entertaining. This group was spot on and they all seemed to be enjoying it. Now if they are practicing I would think masks would be mandated and good luck with that.

Did you happen to look at the date of this video? 2017

[@lostinamerica7868]

Tap Dance, reminds me of Shirley Temple; great dancers, lots of fun to watch.

[@moonoggin]

What a great troop and the song is beyond excellent!! .. the Andrews sisters -Bei Mir Bist Du Schon (means you're grand). You should use the Andrews sisters recording because it has everything that this recording lacks .. you could speed it up like they do on the little gear here on youtube. My favorite feature. The most perfect cloggers I've ever seen. I think the sound person for the stage speakers just didnt have the sound up loud enough.

[@mrcraftyman]

You're Grand? Translated it means "By me you are beautiful.

[@jennifertyndall7479]

I love the music and the clog dance !!

[@philipanninos4864]

I love to watch clogging and I'm a city boy. I just think it's fun.

[@shifrabaila4074]

I wonder if anyone remembers the tune playing, which was a jazz hit song, I believe, from the 1940's, entitled "Ba Mir Bistu Shein" (please let me know if I spelled this incorrectly, thank you). I think it is Yiddish, but could be German.

[@mipajaro1]

Had never heard of clogging. Look like fun and lots.of practice.

[@andyleighton6969]

Not just an American thing, it was practised in the North of England too. According to my Dad my Granddad - a blacksmith at Vickers in Newcastle at the turn of the 20th century - won prizes.

[@susanwaltman2607]

They are amazing!!! I dance tap and saw the Geico commercial that has clogging in it and wanted to see what it was.

[@scottadler]

Talk about cultural fusion -- clogging to a Jewish song written in Yiddish!

[@maranatha_777]

And using several taps Irish style.

[@virginiaviola5097]

In other words...it means they’re grand 😁🙃

[@adampoindexter5520]

I did a tour in the 90s with a bluegrass band called James King! And met a lovely lady named Mia! In the group! Tell her that Adam says hello and salmearka

I’m auditioning for a clogging team that’s real close to lagoon. Hopefully, we’ll get to compete in these.

You can match the Andrews Sisters version of this song to the dancers beat .. Song on 1.25 in one tab and watch this at normal speed while playing their dance with no sound.

[@colyboy11]

Where are the clogging shoes? Were they wearing tap shoes?

[@ammandahall3521]

They're clogging shoes. Tap shoes only have one tap on each toe and one on each heel. These have two nailed together so they make a more jingly sound when they dance.

[@davidhoskins8012]

why does it always take the soundman forever to start the music? they leave the performers standing there forever.

[@leebateman4078]

You need to change the title. This is not clogging. I grew up clogging and this is not it. What I saw was a cross between Irish River Dance and tap.

[@christianbyers8332]

In the southern part of America this style of dance is called clogging. Major difference between tap and Irish river dancing.

How about some bluegrass music for this type dancing? The squawking from the soprano doesn’t go with the type of dance or music selection.

how is this clogging v tap? Seems lie tap

[@gjm1953]

How is this any different from tapdancing?

[@WorldClassClogging]

gjm1953 The shoes they have are clogs, which are like taps, but are loose to make louder sounds and a larger variety of sounds. Do a search online and others explain the difference between clogging and tap dance better than me.

[@morrisonsrocks]

I have no experience whatsoever aside from watching youtube videos, but I'd say, that tap uses more of a jumping step, like the Irish, the cloggers move their knees more and use more space I think. There's a "battle" video somewhere, where Tap, Clogging and Irish Side Step is compared, watch that for a real explanation :D

[@fairlyvague82]

gjm1953 well, these guys appear to be wearing....erm....clogs and not tap shoes 🤪

[@frannieoakley4996]

they have a lot of tap moves in their routine

[@woolncathairs]

I've been a clogger for several years. We dance on the downbeat and tap and Irish dancers - well, dance on the UPbeat of a song. We have softer taps that are doubled in the front to make more sound. Taps on tap shoes make a clear, hard sound compared to clogging taps. We also have taps on the front of the toe and on the heel. Cloggers have their own steps but sometimes tap and clog steps do run into each other. We also have Irish steps that are slightly different than pure Irish steps but look similar. Hope this helps!
