Beginner

Learn the basic steps of traditional Appalachian clogging with emphasis on rhythm and dancing to the music.

Beginner Plus

An extension of the Beginner Class. This class is especially beneficial for those who have taken a Beginner Class or, though somewhat experienced, may be a bit rusty and out of practice. It is the perfect refresher course.

Intermediate

Kick in with energy! Participants will build a repertoire of steps that include some groundwork at improvisation. Speed and flair are two of the components that best characterize this class.

High Intermediate/Challenge

For experienced dancers with a desire to learn more advanced steps and movements. Routines are taught at a faster clip. Emphasis is placed on buck, Irish and Canadian steps.
