Does anyone know what clogging is?

If so, how long have you been practicing/watching it?
NO, CLOGGING IS NOT WHAT YOU DO TO SINKS, DRAINS,TOILETS, ETC.
Now that that’s out of the way…
I’ve been clogging for 1 yr 4months and I have a wonderful teacher, I practice it with my mom, and I’m in the expert class.
I know routines to:
Louisiana Saturday Nite
Jump Back Jo Jo
Hamster Dance
Do you love me?
All American Girl
Love Story
Cajun Moon
Armadillo Song
Rocky Top
Old Time Rock n’ Roll
High Horse
Fishin in the Dark
Locomotion
Sweet Home Alabama
Life is a Highway
Cotton Eyed Joe

I guess my question is, are there any classics I should do a routine to that I don’t already have? Any song ideas for talent shows?

Thanks for traditional dancers!

Lol I’ve seen clogging routines done to hip-hop songs by a crew called Dynamic Edition. They appeared on America’s Best Dance Crew.

That’s not the full video of their routine to "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus, but it’s the only vid I can find on this routine. Oh and they added in some hip-hop so it’s not all clogging.
Maybe you could try that song?

What kinds of food give you the worst heartburn?

For me it cajun food.
(Last time I went down to New Orleans I got it so bad it lasted for 3 days thanks to habenero pepper gumbo.
(Thermonuclear HOT!)
SO good but makes me SO mserable for such a LONG time!

Unfortunately, as we get older, we have a harder time consuming the food we once enjoyed with no side effects. Anything acidy (tomatoes, pepper, raw veggies, even dairy) can cause heartburn. I take it as a sign that I am not treating my body like I should.

My older sister is Racist towards asians and I don’t know what to do?

I’m a 16 year old Anime/Video game fan who loves the Japanese Culture (lifestyle, how the country is run, history, etc. and not just for the entertainment such as anime and J-rock). The problem is that I have an 18 year old sister who mocks asian people most of the time and it pisses me off (Both of us are a mix of German, English, and Cajun French). She knows that I’m into that culture and she would pick on me by rudely imitating them in a bad manner. She hates the Chinese and the Japanese but not the Koreans since we have a Korean step-grandmother. I would think thats Hypocritical because if she imitates asian people, that would offend my grandmother. Honestly, I think my older sister is a spoiled racist brat and I don’t know what to do with her. Any suggestions?

Kung Fu her a.r.s.e and throw her back in the kitchen. Use your imagination.
