Sometimes you see them at county fairs. Otherwise kinda underground in 2021. Even if you see em at the fair, they are not like the old time cloggers. I got another clip to find of some cloggers, the real old school ones. But have to find it. 

Here is how the old timers dressed...but they are not the real old timers. It all seems to get watered down as time goes on. The cloggers I saw about 6 years ago at a fair were dressed like they were going to a 1990's aerobic class....neon clothing and leg warmers and all.

I've got a large collection of square dance music with call sheets. It is a caller's travel box and kinda rare. The square dance caller would rent themselves out like DJ's for a square dance and bring their 45rpms and the call sheets. Clogging is not really square dance, but I think it is in the family so to speak.
