Bull Run Cloggers to Perform a Free Show Saturday

From Northern Virginia Community College:

The Bull Run Cloggers will perform a free show Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Mary Louise Jackson Amphitheater at Northern Virginia Community College. 

The amphitheater is located at 6901 Sudley Rd. in Manassas. Parking is free by the amphitheater. For weather-related cancellations, call 703-530-8298.

“The Patriotic Rhythm of America” will salute the United States through a performance highlighting patriotic tunes as well as routines that demonstrate the heritage of traditional Appalachian clogging.

The Manassas-based group puts on more than 20 shows each year at craft shows, festivals, fairs, civic functions, celebrations and more.

Although clogging was traditionally done to bluegrass music, the Bull Run Cloggers dance to modern country, Celtic, top 40, swing and bluegrass.

The group performs a variety of styles in their routines, including traditional Appalachian clogging, modern clogging, Irish and Canadian step-dancing, and swing.

The performance is part of the Second Annual Summer Evenings under the Stars series, funded by a grant from the NVCC Educational Foundation and sponsored by NOVEC.

Upcoming shows feature the Old Bridge Chamber Orchestra String Quartet on July 14 and Prince William Community Band on July 28.
