Knickerbocker Glory is an Appalachian Dance team based near Bordon, East Hampshire, England. We perform throughout the summer at festivals, fairs, pubs and barn dances all over Southern England. In the winter, we meet regularly to practise, and just to be sociable. Perhaps, the best way to see what we do is take a look at our photos and videos.
We favour the precision clogging style of Appalachian dance. In other words, we dance set routines to our audience. Some of the newer dances were choreographed by our leader, Margaret. We have created other dances in our repertoire by working together as a team, sharing ideas and styles. We also have dances choreographed by Lyn Colbeck and Marion Hakeman.
Our style has developed and become more relaxed and spontaneous over the years, and we are currently trying to extend our repertoire by introducing more flat footing, freestyle dancing, and a wider range of music into our performances.
