Virginia Sugarcane Cloggers

Sugarcane Cloggers of Norton, VA Mountain Music & Dance Performances

Anna and her husband Ray perform a very unique folk talent with music and dance. Anna plays the autoharp and dulcimer; dances the flatfoot, French-Canadian waltz clog, traditional clog; and she and Ray demonstrate the waltz, jitterbug, and Dutch

klompen. She also gives oral dance history in the program. Ray is a storyteller, sings and dances with Anna for the couples dances. As a duo act, they complement one another with their talent and antics. They also lead audiences in easy-to-learn fun dances.

Our goal is to promote, perpetuate and preserve the traditional dance art of Appalachian clogging, flatfoot, folk dance and other forms of mountain dance for future generations. The classes are an effort to pass down the dances of our mountain ancestors so the art will live on. We learn from our Appalachian roots. In addition, it is fun and great exercise.
