Dance of the People (U.S.A., 10 min.) Director: Marc Menish
Prior to 1971, most precision clogging teams in North Carolina followed the same basic formula. The Green Grass Cloggers, created by East Carolina University students, sidestepped many of the staid conventions and sparked a shift within the greater clogging community. Forty-four years on, with some members facing the effects of gravity on their aging bodies, it is clear that newer dancers are needed to maintain the Green Grass legacy -- dancers with their own sense of what it means to be a clogger. This documentary explores this pivotal point in the team's rich history.
