Time to dust off the clogging shoes
Jeff: Congratulations on your Hall of Fame
honor in October at the America’s Clogging Hall
of Fame world championships.
My wife and I were spectators in Spartanburg.
We have been attending this championship
for about seven or eight years and have really
enjoyed seeing this level of talent evolve. The
routines we won with in the early 1980’s (Orange
Blossom Special Cloggers of Florida) would
barely place by today’s standards.
A heart attack thirteen year’s ago put a hurtin’
on my aerobic ability but I did get back to a
point to where I could get through solos. I
entered a couple of times and even took some
flatfooting classes from Lou Maiuri and enjoyed
that. I actually placed first in the thirty and older
category at the ACHF championships in Maggie
Valley several years ago.
me as a young dancer and instructor who was
just thrilled to be on the dancefloor that I would
someday be acknowledged in this way, I would
not have believed it.
The award is not just mine. It belongs to my
family who got me into square dancing as a
young man, to my grandmother who was my
biggest fan and cheerleader, to the cloggers,
teachers and competitors who inspired me, who
taught me so much about dance and about life,
and to the countless folks along the way whose
smiles and kindness and friendships have made
it all worthwhile.
It is true that today’s competitions are not like
the ones that we remember from the 1970’s and
1980’s, when clogging caught fire and spread
around the world. Weren’t we so lucky to be
there for those amazing years of growth and
change for this dance we love.
Part of me wishes we could capture the magic
With some back surgery and tendon surgery this
year, plus tending to a business, clogging has not of the time and share it with today’s cloggers.
Technology has made our world so small that

America’s Clogging Hall of Fame
Spartanburg, played host to the annual
world championships of the America’s
Clogging Hall of Fame organization,
bringing hundreds of dancers and their
families to the Spartanburg Memorial
Auditorium for three full days of events
in both traditional and modern clogging
styles.
Founded in 1981 by Dan and Sandy
Angel, the America’s Clogging Hall
of Fame (ACHF) organization was
chartered for the purpose of honoring
our past leaders and providing a place
for dancers from all walks of life to
come together and dance, promoting
events that are designed to preserve our
traditional artform while welcoming the
growth of the modern form of the dance.
ACHF sanctions many competitions
throughout the year where teams and
dancers can qualify to compete in
the dance-off the last full weekend in
October. Any team finishing 1st or 2nd
in two sanctioned competitions qualifies
to compete at the dance-off. Also, all
grand champion solo winners at each
sanctioned event earns the opportunity
to compete in October for a chance
to dance on the Grand Ole Opry in
Nashville, Tennessee.
After a marathon of competitions over
the three days, the following grand
champions were crowned in ceremonies
throughout the event: Over-All Tiny Tot
thru Junior Traditional Team - Evermean
Evergreen, Over-All Tiny Tot thru
Junior Contemporary Team - Evermean
Evergreen, Over-All Senior thru Sr. Adult
Traditional Team - Rhythm-N-Motion

Also honored at the
World Championships are
individuals who are inducted
into America’s Clogging Hall
of Fame. These inductees
have been clogging for at
least 25 years and have been
a positive influence in the
preservation of the dance.
This year, three inductions
were added to the illustrious
list of those who have been
previously honored throughout
the years.
The first inductee into
America’s Clogging Hall of
Fame for 2014 was Robert
Dotson and his late wife,
Myrtle. The couple, from the
Sugar Grove community of the
Carolinas, grew up dancing,
where their families would
have apple peelings followed
by pushing away the furniture
in the living room to dance the
night away. Having grown
up as children only a mile or
two from one another, they
attended the same square
12
www.doubletoe.com
dances and were influenced by the same dance
styles. Dancing to the music of an unamplified string
band in the close quarters of a living room, they
developed a quiet flatfoot style, devoid of the metal
taps that are common among most clogging groups.
The Dotsons were a major influence on the Green
Grass Cloggers and Fiddle Puppets,
groups formed in the 1970’s. The
“walking “ step was the most popular
step that they learned from the Dotsons,
a low to the floor typified by a flatfooting
scuffing of the heel forward followed
with a drag on the opposite foot and
then brushing the ball of the forward
foot down and stepping on it. The
continuous motion creates a very fluid
and beautiful motion that is rhythmic
and understated. The Dotsons have
been master artists in residence during
dance week at the famed Augusta
Heritage Center in Elkins, West Virginia,
driving from their home in Elizabethton,
Tennessee to lead square dances and
demonstrate their flatfoot styles. “I just
love to dance,” Robert Dotson said.
“When I hear music, I get the rhythm.
I’ve got to get up.” Even though his
wife has passed, 91 year old Robert
still loves the opportunity to show his
flatfooting style.
The Doubletoe Times Magazine of Clogging
Jeff Driggs was also inducted into the Hall of Fame. Driggs grew up in West Virginia, the third of six sons born
to Phil and Nancy Driggs. The Driggs’ were regulars at the many square dances held around the region.
Jeff began calling square dances as a teenager in the early 70’s, where he had the opportunity to learn from
many of Appalachia’s best western-style and old time square dance callers.
He began clogging in 1980 while in college, when he and his
Western square dance partner began weekend visits to the
many clogging and old time music halls in Southern West
Virginia. A self taught dancer, he learned from watching old
time masters like the late D. Ray White, and modern cloggers
like Tony Burgess and Jamie Bullins. The West Virginia
style he developed early on was a combination of flatfooting
(a low to the floor dance style punctuated by heel skuffs and
pitter patter on the ball of the foot) and Appalachian style
clogging which is recognized by its constant drag-slide motion
on the flat of the foot with the heel keeping time.
Driggs was offered the opportunity to dance with a local team
and learned the terminology and techniques of precision
clogging. The team performed locally and on the road with
the Hee Haw Road show, performing at local venues with
the likes of Grandpa Jones and Minnie Pearl. At an openmic teaching session at Fontana, North Carolina in 1983,
Jeff and his friend from North Carolina, Jamie Bullins, shared
some steps they had created and he caught the eye of
workshop organizers Bobbie and Dewey Paul of Ohio, who
offered him a staff teaching spot the following year. He
spent the next year performing, dancing and choreographing
in preparation for his first workshop. Driggs’ skill as a cuer
and his humorous presentation style struck a chord with
the dancers, and offers for more workshops began to come
in. In 2009, workshops in North and South Dakota gave
him the distinction of
having taught in all fifty
U.S. states. He has
also shared clogging
throughout Canada,
Europe, Asia and
Australia and has
received numerous
awards and honors, both
as a competitor and an
instructor.
As a performer, Jeff made
his first appearance on
the Grand Ole Opry in
1985, after winning the
U.S. male clogging title.
He has danced on that
hallowed stage many
times throughout the
years, and in shows with
country music artists such
as Vince Gill,

Kenny Rogers, Charlie Daniels, Ricky Skaggs
and others. His routines are taught and danced
worldwide, and his choreography has been performed
in international parades and festivals, bowl game
halftime shows, theme parks and more. Jeff has
written several books on clogging and old time square
dancing and has recently written a stage
musical on the history of clogging that is being
developed for production. He has also been
working to include clogging in upcoming stage
and screen projects. Jeff has served as an
officer in many national clogging organizations,
and in 1998 became the owner and editor of
the Double Toe Times clogging magazine that
is read throughout the United States and 14
foreign countries.
North Carolina. By the end of the 1970s, clogging
groups inspired by the Green Grass Cloggers had
formed in many places across the country. Overseas,
the Green Grass Clogger-style was adopted by
groups in Japan and in England, where today it is
the predominant style of 'Appalachian' clogging.
Presently, out of 170 members throughout the group’s
history, the current roster includes more than 40
active dancers who have joined together throughout
each of the team’s four decades.
Rounding out the Hall of Fame induction
ceremony was the inclusion of the Green Grass
Cloggers. The Green Grass Cloggers were
founded in 1971 by students at East Carolina
University in Greenville, North Carolina.
Founder Dudley Culp had first seen clogging
at the Old Time Fiddlers Convention in Union
Grove, North Carolina. Inspired by seeing
traditional mountain-style clogging teams, but
more influenced by older flatfoot and buck
dancers met at fiddlers' conventions, they developed
an original, eclectic style which was a radical
departure from the traditions of North Carolina team
clogging of the time.
In contrast to the 'big-set' mountain square dance
figures of the traditional freestyle clogging teams, the
Green Grass Cloggers used choreography based
on four-couple Western square dance figures, in
short energetic routines, consciously designed for
audience appeal. While the group's footwork was
synchronized, as in precision clogging, their freespirited performances included head-high kicks and
other unconventional steps. Dressed in old-time
calico dresses, blue jeans, and black shoes, their
appearance contrasted with the clean-cut look of
polyester and white tap shoes common to most other
groups in the 1970s.
By 1974, the group had an established reputation
and was invited to perform at major folk festivals
throughout the United States and Canada. From
1977 until 1987, "The Road Team," which relocated
to Asheville in 1980, toured full-time nationally and
internationally as a professional dance company,
while "The "Home Team" remained active in eastern

America’s Clogging
Hall of Fame
(Continued from page 14)
ACHF honors many of its
dancers at the October
Championships. An AllAmerican Clogging Team is
selected each year through
a nominating and selection
process in which 24 of our best
dancers are chosen. ACHF
also selects 16 dancers to
the Junior All-American Team
and 4 dancers to the Senior
All-American Team each year.
These dancers are showcased
at the World Championships.
Henry Jones, treasurer on the
board of the American Clogging
Hall of Fame spoke to the local
media.
“Clogging is a melting pot of
different folk dances,” Jones
said. “Clogging is truly an
American dance.”
“It’s such a fun time and a great
way to be involved in a little part
of American history.”

inductee, Dancers of all ages took
home honors in the dance-off held at
Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium.
