Hips 'N' Haws Ladies' Clog Dancing Group
Recent Favourites
I really like this group shot I took for the Higham Hips ‘N’ Haws ladies’ clog dancing group. Now I know that clogging gets lumped with Morris Dancing and the country folk dancing fraternity don’t have the coolest of images; all bells, beards, real ale and hankie waving, but being an open-minded sort of chap, I went along with my camera to see what developed (is that a pun in the digital age?) My conclusion was that this is better than aerobics for keeping fit and stomping around with your mates on a wooden floor is more appealing than squeezing into a leotard and legwarmers and prancing around to Take That at an exercise class. Think Stomp with violins. It’s obviously also a great way to let off steam or unwind from the day. All those smiles in the picture are genuinely endorphin-induced ear to ear grins and not the product of my hilarious jokes.
Try clogging you might love it
