 This Year’s International Festival Tour
CLOG AMERICA, known as “America’s Folk Ambassadors,” celebrates 26 years of representing the United States in over 70 major festivals and events throughout Eastern and Western Europe, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Korea, China and the USA. The ensemble has appeared on national television in Germany, the Czech Republic, France, the Netherlands, Brazil, Macedonia, Hungary, Turkey and the USA. CLOG AMERICA is comprised of award-winning dancers and musicians from throughout the Intermountain West who share their fast-paced, high energy show of American Heritage through music and dance with audiences around the world.
During the summer of 2018, CLOG AMERICA represented the USA in a distinguished festival in Finland and performances in Denmark. The group brought smiles to the faces of elderly and disabled adults in Finland through music, interactive dances and gifts from home.
From a past tour to the Netherlands the following review was received: “Spectators got leg-weary just by watching! What a hot pace! The big smiles didn’t budge
from the 21 American dancers’ faces. Clog America
showed that dance and music from the USA needn’t be age-old to be called
folklore. The audience shouted and
clapped their hands to the time of the music. Especially the swift, noisy tap-dance/country-show of the Americans was
admired.”
