2021


On Saturday 18th September 2021, Leap To Your Feet and Soyaband were guests of Mucky Mountain Morris Day of Dance in St Helens along with several other dance groups.


A great day was had by all.  This was our first "dance out" for nearly 2 years and we had been practicing for the last few weeks to get back into top form.

LEAP TO YOUR FEET Appalachian Dancers and Musicians perform the traditional dance and  music of the Southern Appalachian Mountains of America - also known as Appalachian Clogging.  

The dances incorporate the various traditions of several European and African Countries.  The dancers wear “tap” shoes to add a percussive sound to the music.

Appalachian Dancing evolved from the “Clog” dancing common in England And Ireland and taken to the Appalachian mountains of America by the early settlers.
