Klompendansen

Klompendansen ('clog dancing'), sometimes Boerendansen ('farmer-dancing'), is a traditional style of folk dance from the Netherlands. The wooden (klompen ('clogs') are used to create a rhythm by tapping the toes and heels on the floor, and are additionally worn as part of the traditional Dutch costume (klederdracht). These clogs are made lighter than the traditional 800-year-old klomp design. The soles are made from ash wood, and the top part is cut lower by the ankle.
