Andy Howard and the American Racket Cloggers

American Racket was founded on UF campus in 2002 by then-student Andy Howard, American Racket has a growing global reputation for high energy presentations of what Howard calls "America's noisiest traditions."  These energetic young dancers have presented new and traditional styles of American Clogging (originating in Western North Carolina in the early 20th Century) in Brazil, Costa Rica, Canada, and United Kingdom and have also proven to be popular among fans on social media sites (YouTube and Facebook).  Additionally, these veteran performers have shared the stage with entertainers such as Bill Cosby, Sister Hazel, Sugar Ray, Ted Koppel and Jimmy Osmond.
