Clogspotting

I've never grasped why tap dancing hasn't remained a huge phenomenon. I mean who doesn't like it? Seemingly everyone has seen and enjoyed the percussive dance moves of either "Stomp" or "Blue Man Group" (Boston shows) or both, but tap has declined in cultural import, notwithstanding Savion Glover.

But wait. Have you seen clogging? You probably have, but not for a while, or not much of it. But I'm here to predict that clogging is going to explode.

This video, clearly recorded in a high-school gym, is headlined "Clogging... You think you know... but you have no idea..."

Clogging even has a "New Kids"-style boy band!
