the.com/clog dance

means A folk dance performed in heavy wooden-soled shoes, where the dancer's feet hammer out a sharp, rhythmic clatter against the floor.

from Rooted in the clog itself — a shoe with a thick wooden sole, the word 'clog' traced back to Middle English for a lump of wood or a block, the kind once tied to an animal's leg to slow it down. Workers in northern English and Welsh mill towns, standing all day on stone or wooden floors, began stamping out rhythms in their work clogs during breaks, turning a practical shoe into a percussion instrument. The dance spread through Lancashire and beyond, later crossing the Atlantic and feeding into the development of tap dance, which swapped wood for metal taps but kept the same basic idea: make the floor an instrument.
