About me: EDINBURGH'S APPALACHIAN CLOGGING GROUP
‘Kick the Cat' is based in Edinburgh (Scotland) and was started in 1996. The group meets regularly to learn and perform Appalachian Clog dancing, a style of American step dancing which is a fusion and development of the Scottish and Irish step dances of the emigrants with Native American and African-American dance traditions.
‘Kick the Cat’ is the name of a step and we thought it made a good name for the group.
CLASSES
If you would like to join us, we meet on Tuesday evenings from 7.30pm to 9.00pm in the Round Hall (Drama Room) of St. Margaret's School, East Suffolk Road, Edinburgh, EH16 5PJ. Please let us know if you're intending to come along because there's a security door and we'll need to let you in. If you don't contact us beforehand, you may find that we're dancing and can't hear you knocking on the door!
Beginners are welcome. Wear comfortable clothes and hard-soled shoes, or tap shoes if you have them.
We charge £3.00 per lesson.
