Youngsters
dance the
Klonlpen way
By Todd Mowatt
Picture 10 tin tots from four to 11 -
years -old dancink, in tandem to the music
of the accordinn, their wooden shoes
clicking with each movement.
The Klompettes were first organized in
1979 by Corrie Segeren of RR 4 Seaforth
in an attempt to promote Dutch heritage.
The Klompen Feest festival was the
main thrust behind the group, according
to Mrs. Segeren.
In 1979 there were two groups of
Klompettes, junior and senior. A great
deal of work went into organizing and
preparing the dance routines, and the
costumes for the dancers were gathered
from Holland along with the wooden
shoes.
"The hardest part of organizing the
groups was finding enough boys that
were interested in dancing," said Mrs:
Segeren.
The children caught on quickly to the
routines, .but it took them awhile to
master the art of danc•ing un wooden
shoes, according to Mrs. Segeren. •
"When the children get to be 12 -years -
old they usually discontinue dancing with
