Devoted to the performance, preservation and proliferation of music and dance from the Southern Appalachian Mountains
The Apple Chill Cloggers were
formed in 1975 to preserve, interpret, and teach the traditional style of
Southern Appalachian Mountain clogging.
The team performs for festivals, benefits and other events around North Carolina and beyond. From Asheville to Raleigh they have inspired audiences by performing with high energy and clogging to live traditional music.
The team also enjoys performing at international festivals. This year, they traveled to Portugal from July 24th through August 3rd. In years past they have performed in Peru, Canada, Ecuador, France, Holland, Ireland, Switzerland, Mexico and Italy to name a few. Their 2007 international festival experience took them to Santa Cruz do Sul, Brazil for the Festival Internacionale de Artes Populares. They were very excited to have the opportunity to travel to Brazil and learn more about Brazilian dance and culture.
The Cloggers are on YouTube! See us dancing at the 2007 Eno River Festival here.
Alumni member Steve Levitt has recently published an informative fiction adventure book on the roots of Appalachian Clogging! Please check it out here . Thanks
