Gary Larsen Takes Clogging to a Whole New Level
Fri, Aug 28, 2009
I watched this and all I could say is WOW!
Having know Gary Larsen for almost all my clogging life, and also knowing his history in dance, including Tap, Irish Hard Shoe, and French Canadian, what you see here is a master piece.
A few questions I have for Gary:
- What type of clogging shoes are you wearing?
- What about the style of dance taps – they don’t sound like a jingle or buck tap?
- Is there a steel flange on the toe of each tap?
- When can I start clogging again and be your apprentice?
What do you all think of this new clogging style? or is it really clogging at all – maybe a new form of percussive dance?
I’m so excited to have found this video! I was privileged enough to have Gary as my clogging teacher at BYU-Idaho, and all I can say is I still question the sanity of whoever decided not to keep him there!
What do you mean — not to keep him there. He is at BYUI and he is the most awesome teacher ever!!!!!
He was gone for a while and then came back! Glad he’s back!
I’m pretty sure Gary uses Bell Taps.
