Basingclog Morris

Basingclog Morris, a local clog side in Basingstoke and the surrounding area, is excited to promote their upcoming local Contemporary Dance event. This talented group is known for their performances in the North West style of clog dancing, which has a rich history dating back 300 years to the cotton mills of Northern England.

Basingclog isn't just about preserving the traditional dances of the past, though. They also put their own creative spin on things by creating their own dances, ensuring that the living tradition of clog dancing continues to evolve and thrive. Their dedication to the art form shines through in their performances, which are always a vibrant and colourful display.

One thing that sets Basingclog apart is their energetic and enthusiastic performances, accompanied by their lively band. You won't be able to resist tapping your feet to the infectious rhythm they create. They really put on a show that aims to entertain and delight their audience.

During the summer months, you can catch Basingclog at various venues listed on their website's diary section. It's the perfect opportunity to see them in action and experience the joy and skill of clog dancing firsthand. But if you can't wait until then, you're in luck! Basingclog holds weekly practice sessions on Tuesday nights at 8:00 pm at the Sherfield on Loddon Village Hall during the winter. It's a chance for members to hone their skills and continue to improve their craft.

If you've always wanted to give clog dancing a try but have never experienced it before, Basingclog warmly welcomes new dancers and musicians, regardless of your age or gender. They even offer teaching sessions during their winter practices for those who are new to the world of North West Morris dancing. So don't be shy; there's no better time to give it a go!

Families are also encouraged to join in on the fun. Basingclog is for everyone, and they understand the importance of passing down traditions to future generations. Children over 11 years old can participate, as long as they are accompanied by a parent who is also participating. It's a wonderful way to bond as a family and share in the joy of dance together.
