Devil’s Jumps Clog practise and perform step clog dances from England, Scotland, Wales and Canada. We enjoy learning the dances and performing them to what we hope are appreciative audiences; having fun and keeping fit at the same time.

Step clog is performed in wooden soled clogs where a rhythm is beaten out by tapping various parts of the clog against the floor; the other clog or somebody else’s clog. We don’t do clog morris. Clog morris (North West morris done in clogs) has complicated moves and simple steps, our movements are simple, but the steps are (sometimes) complicated. Some routines we work on are traditional or as taught by champion dancers; others we have choreographed using traditional steps and some we have written ourselves. All members are involved in this teaching/learning/performance design process.

We meet on Thursdays in Emsworth Community Centre from 8.00 to 10.00 pm.

New members, both dancers and musicians, are always welcome.
