    I think some people have judged these dancers too quickly. They have another more joyful number at the end. I’m glad I read the comments and learned about the “ mill machinery” it’s actually pretty funny if you think about it. Very well done. I’m sure group dance requires a lot of work and coordination. Bravo to all the dancers. Their dresses were so modest.

    • @SierraNovemberKilo
      @SierraNovemberKilo Рік тому +2

      I'm sure they should be wearing bonnets (headscarves) to keep their hair out if the way. Mill workers wore clothing that wouldn't hitch in the machinery. Many accidents involved clothing or hair being caught in the machinery which wouldn't necessarily stop!

      The dancers represent the machines they operate to make the cloth. The sound of the clogs was sound of the shuttles whizzing through the warp and weft. Therefore no reason to smile they are machines.... I've never actually seen this typs of clogging before but l knew straightaway the rhythm was the sound of the looms...

When I married into Wales, they took me to a Hwyl Nos, a folk evening, where the locals though to take the piss of the Saes by getting me to dance clog. I'm part Belgian and wore heavier clogs around the house, so I outdanced them, it's not difficult, tap heel-and-toe, also known in the cockney communities I was raised around. You just adapt two or three steps for the style.

    That was just marvellous. I’ve looked at American style cloggers on UA-cam sometimes and to me it seemed a bit frantic . One person or a few leaping noisily about sort of clicking and banging . I do realize knowledge dictates taste to a considerable degree ,and I’m unfamiliar with clogging. That being said , this presentation showed a great amount of detailed steps and a unity that must have taken a great deal of dedication and practice . Apart from all that it was a pleasure to watch ,and looked like a lot of fun .❤

      They are doing ancient (by our standards) Welsh footwork. They also were inhibited by religious traditions that forbid 'enjoying' anything too much.

      It was just the "late" dancer who rushes I just before the dance begins. In the bad old days, people working in mills and factories had wages docked or were even fired on the spot for lateness and the most trivial breaches of the rules. These dancers have a great understanding of the tradition they are maintaining and they do it so well. Love and peace.

      And still some persist in the lie that tap dance came from black America. Watch their opening step pattern and if you forgive the fact that clogs have no heels so their weight is further back than a tapper would be they are doing the classis single double and triple timesteps. My teachers all came from the celtic folk and Northern clogging tradition and so did their teachers before them

      ​@@jillalexander3006 Sorry but although the soles are made from one piece of wood British clogs do have heels carved in. The front part curves gently upwards to facilitate walking. This creates different percussive tones as you dance.

    • @moiraruff3292
      @moiraruff3292 5 місяців тому

      ​@@jillalexander3006 Oh, and because of the shape of the sole, it isn't possible to use the ends of the toes to make good beats (e.g. shuffles), more by using the ball of the foot. Also, the balance is more with the feet side by side than forward or crossed as in tap or Irish dance. If you do cross over the feet for a movement you risk catching the heel on the front of the foot (which, believe me, can be painful!). These are the reasons the balance is different to tap or Irish dance, but it is closer to the American forms of step dances.

    Brilliant, folk dancing,; clog dancers making the sounds of the spinning and weaving looms in the north of England. The clothes they are wearing are of the time.

      Thanks for that insight. Doubtless the mill-workers had the rhythmic clatter of the machinery etched in their brains. Stands to reason they would re-create it in in their recreation.

      My mother briefly worked in the cotton mills as a young girl. She told me that the combination of wooden clogs and oil on the floor resulted in the girls having beautiful, soft-skinned, feet.

      They are simulating the machines in the Mills with the rythms. Machines do not smile. Read the pinned account of this. It is deliberately expressionless.

    This performance of Nelson Mills did not include my usual preamble about working conditions in mills which would give the answers to some of the comments here. To answer some questions...
    Why are the dancers not smiling? They are playing the role of machines in a cotton mill. The rhythms of the dance are the sounds you would hear from various machines in a cotton mill. Machines don't smile.
    Where does this dance come from? The style is from the north west of England. The dance was composed by Pat Tracey who was born in Nelson, Lancashire. Her family had been clog dancing for generations. Her grandfather was a professional clog dancer in the mid 19th century.
    What was the music? I know the tune as "Far from Home".
