At first glance, this dancing routine may not seem very impressive, but you would be incorrect.
Clogging is a spectacular kind of Irish dancing that relies heavily on feet and uses very little upper body movement.
Here, however, the classic approach is given a new and exciting spin in this video's routine.
This energetic clogging duet, performed by Madison and Morgan, was the main attraction at the 2013 Clogging Champions of America - Showdown of Champions in Knoxville, Tennessee. Instead of the traditional Irish music often associated with clogging, their performance is set to the energetic "Hit the Ground Runnin'" by Keith Urban.
Madison and Morgan immediately disprove of expectations with their clog shoes, white pants, and plaid shirts.
The couple starts their thrilling performance with their backs to the crowd, generating tension while the audience cheers in anticipation.
As the music starts, Madison and Morgan quickly spin around, beaming with excitement and smiling broadly. The duet is set in action by their coordinated footwork, which is complemented by holding hands and elegant twirls.
Astonishing high jumps, stage circles, and high kicks are just a few of the ways the ladies update the classic clogging techniques in their act. Their choreography is flawless, as they move in perfect time with one another.
Madison and Morgan bring a modern spin to the classic dance style by including hand and arm motions into their performance, which gives it a lively, energetic, and fun feel. An enthralling performance that keeps audiences enthralled is the result of combining classic and contemporary components.
Impressive footwork and flawless transitions left viewers speechless, and many took to the comments area to share their astonishment. Some people were enthusiastic about clogging because of its high energy level, while others were quite argumentative over how to classify it.
One reviewer, despite the diversity of views, highlighted the cultural significance of clogging and how it developed into a contemporary Irish-American dancing form. Another, speaking from their own experience as a clogging instructor, confirmed the routine's veracity by pointing out the classic moves that were blended with modern touches.
