Apple Chill Cloggers turn foot-stompin' into chickaboom-chung-chung

It may not come across quite right on
paper, but that is more or less the sound
of two feet clogging. A labor-intensive
form of high-energy folk dance,
clogging has shuffled into the local
spotlight on the 48 feet of the Apple
Chill Cloggers (and the two hands of
their resident musician). The Cloggers
performed at Jimmy Carter's
inauguration in January, teaching a
routine to 8,000 people at the "World's
Largest Square Dance." Fortunately, it
hasn't gone to their heads every
Tuesday evening they perform the same
service for Chapel Hill, although on a
much smaller scale.
The Tuesday classes have been going
on for two years, having started in
Woollen Gym and moved to the Great
Hall when more and more people began
showing up. Up to 100 people, from
locations as diverse as Raleigh and
Winston-Salem, have attended the
sessions on occasion. The classes are
divided into three sections: beginners,
including the rankest of novices and

No, it's not London Bridge. It's people learning how to clog, to participate in
thanks to the Apple Chill Cloggers, in the Tuesday night class Washington, D.C.
in the Great Hall. The Cloggers were invited by Jimmy Carter
those who have the idea but not the
rapidfire casual footflick, intermediate,
and advanced.
The physical effect produced by the
class is not unlike running the two-mile
with gravel in your Keds. The leader
starts with the basic step, the
chickaboom, and works his group up
through the more bizarre ones the
syncopated Eddy, the leg-waving Indian
and the Alamo, also known as the Lone
Ranger because of its familiar rhythm
(have a Lark, have a Lark, have a Lark
today...)- Then the students pair up
and learn some square-dance moves,
such as diving for oysters, digging for

clams,, and other forms of shellfish
pursuit. When some general level of
competency has been reached, classes
and Cloggers gather in a circle. The time
has come to put the newly-acquired
knowledge to use.
The square dance itself is perhaps an
ideal method of gaining information
Wing and Marsh in Deep Jonah tonight
Steve Wing and Rodney Marsh will
perform at 8:30 tonight in Deep Jonah
in the basement of the Carolina Union.
Their music covers a wide spectrum,
including early jazz, swing, bebop,
Duke Ellington, the Beatles, Stevie
Wonder, original music and
improvisation.
Marsh will play flute, tenor sax and
alto sax, as well as a soprano sax from
the 1920's that's supposed to be strange
looking. Marsh played wind instruments for
"The Hard Times Jazz Band," which
recently disbanded because of economic
troubles. "The Hard Times Jazz Band,"
which played in the Triangle area for
over two years, found that the
uniqueness of its music made it hard to
sell.
Wing formerly played piano and was
lead vocalist for "Swing", a mostly-jazz
band that started irr . Poughkeepsic,
N.Y., in 1975 and eventually toured the
Eastern seaboard.

about life in New York and his travels
through Mexico, Canada and across the
United States. His roots are in David
Crosby, Willis Alan Ramsey and
Jackson Browne. Guitar-playing Gabel
will have some of his friends jamming

from political prisoners, except that it's
so damnably much fun. Much to the
relief of rbving DTH reporters, no one
moves around to check your form
(which helped kill my brief affair with
the waltz). A large number of dancers
are flat-out superb, ripping casually
through the steps with Olympian
stamina and Colombian smiles. The end
of the dance finds many prostrate on the
floor, and mention of a favored old-time
tradition (post-shuffle beer
consumption) is well-received.
Official President Ron Raxter rani
through a brief history of the Apple
Chill Cloggers over several chilly ones
after the dance. The group evolved from
the UNC Clogging Club, taking its new
name after the 1975 Apple Chill Fair.
Most of its 25 members are still
students, and the rest work in the area.
The group is registered as a nonprofit
North Carolina corporation hence
the need for a president in a democratic
organization, as Raxter, a law student,
explains it. They have performed at
numerous folk and old-time festivals
(including the Chicago Folk Festival
"one of the biggest in the country'" last
weekend) in addition to the
inauguration of the Georgia Peach.
The Apple Chill Cloggers represent a
'"hybrid", of traditional and precision
dance, Raxter explains. A precision
team (of which there were two at the
inaugural) is more of a drill team, while
the traditional goes for individual
emphasis. The Cloggers execute
precision moves, but within a
traditional improvisational framework.
"Our charter lasts perpetually
hopefully we will too." commented
Raxter as the evening's festivities drew
to a close. With a growing reputation in
the community and elsewhere, it seems
that Chapel Hill's most entertaining
corporation will probably do just that.
