I suspect a relation between the local group tap dancing behavior you have previously documented and the abundance of oversized insects in & around greater Birdseye.

If so , what a charming happenstance ! What may have started back in the day as an inexpensive & effective way to control populations of large bugs...has evolved into a pleasurable social activity in it's own right !

Contemporary clippity- clogging in Birdseye could be the direct lineal dance descendant of an ancient Terpsichorean pest squashing ritual . Participants would have carefully disguised themselves as beetles , caterpillars, earwigs, centipedes, & the like . Then , under the watchful direction of shamanic choreographers, the "bug-dancers" would work themselves into a sustained trance of frenzied movement while at the same time dispatching their " little brothers " into the next life by literally treading upon them underfoot.
