Step Dance/Clogging from Tasmania, 1994

Step dancing from Tasmania as danced at house parties on the East Coast of Tassie. This video was produced in 1994 while we were recording John Sturzacker. John's daughter, Sandra, remembered several unique dances that she learnt as a child from older members of her family. Sandra demonstrated this clog dance and also a very energetic Cobblers Dance, known as the frog dance in other regions. Unfortunately we have not come across many traditional clog and step dancers in the years we have been recording for the NLA.
