We take our name, Aldbrickham, from Thomas Hardy’s novel Jude the Obscure, where he called Reading, well-known for its brick industry, ‘Aldbrickham’ [Old-brick-ham]
Strictly speaking, Aldbrickham Clog & Step Dancers started in 2001, but the group had really evolved from its predecessor, Reading Traditional & Step Dance Group (‘The Reading Cloggies’), which was founded as early as 1965
We are still affectionately called “Cloggies”, even though we tend to have more dances done in shoes than in clogs!
Our dances are for any number of dancers, from solos, duets, to 4,5,6 or more
We have some spare pairs of clogs for beginners to try
