There are many skilled dancers on the internet, showcasing a range of styles from ballroom to tap, street to Morris dancing. Yet, every once in a while, a performance comes along that truly catches you off guard—and Lauren and Kaylee Thomas’ routine is one of those performances. These two are championship-winning clog dancers, and if you’re not familiar with clogging, it’s described by Ridge Runner Cloggers as:
“Clogging is an energetic, percussive dance form where dancers wear shoes with taps attached.”
Clogging may be a lesser-known style for some, but once you see Lauren and Kaylee in action, you’ll be hooked. Their performance was recorded at the 2016 Clogging Champions of America Showdown of Champions, where they showcase their skill and energy.
The video features the contemporary section of the competition, although the sisters also competed in the traditional category. It’s a high-energy duet dance-off, and the two girls are nothing short of amazing.
At first glance, you might think they’re twins, but Kaylee is actually two years older than Lauren. They share a striking resemblance with their blonde hair and adorable looks, and when performing in identical outfits, it’s easy to make that mistake. But the most remarkable thing they have in common is how their feet move like lightning.
As the video starts, six pairs are lined up on stage, each preparing for the dance-off. Lauren and Kaylee stand out with their jazzy black tops and sparkling trousers. Even with other couples dancing, it’s impossible to take your eyes off them. They are perfectly synchronized, executing every move in unison. Kicking, spinning, and performing intricate arm twists, their routine is both mesmerizing and mind-boggling. Their boundless energy is truly extraordinary.
