There are countless skilled dancers on the internet, ranging from ballroom and tap to street and morris dancing. However, occasionally, a performance emerges that truly surprises and captivates.
Lauren and Kaylee Thomas exemplify this phenomenon. These award-winning clog dancers have amazed audiences with their stunning routines.
According to Ridge Runner Cloggers, clogging is “an energetic percussive style of dance where dancers wear shoes with special taps attached,” and Lauren and Kaylee excel in this art form.
Their memorable moment occurred during the 2016 Clogging Champions of America Showdown of Champions.
The video showcasing their performance, particularly the contemporary segment of the competition, went viral. Even with many other talented dancers present, Lauren and Kaylee enchanted the audience with their perfectly synchronized movements, spins, and vibrant energy.
It’s easy to confuse them for twins, but Kaylee is actually two years older than Lauren.
Their similar blonde hair and matching outfits contribute to the illusion, but it’s their rapid footwork that truly distinguishes them.
Lauren and Kaylee are no strangers to fame. Hailing from Berea, Kentucky, they began clogging at a young age—Lauren at just three and Kaylee at five.
Their exceptional talent quickly shone through, leading them to dominate local competitions and eventually claim victory on the national stage, winning the national championships an astonishing fifteen times.
While this style of clogging is primarily found in the United States, which limits their chances for international competition, the sisters have forged an impressive career.
In addition to their championship accolades, they have made appearances on shows like Nickelodeon’s Figure It Out and the updated Gong Show.
