gumboot dancing is like folk music dancing. The folks wear what we would call rain golashes or billy boots. Those r rubber boots that u pull over ur dress shoes or wear with just socks, either way. There is no special dress, it's just country folks getting together and dancing to a fiddle and guitar. If u'd like to hear some gumboot music, get a stompin'tom connors cd with the song gumboot clogaroo on it . Great song, great cd, great folk singer from canada. ENJOY
