Kickin' It at the Maple Festival

My season is officially in full swing! And, what better way to kick it off than dancing in my hometown of Monterey, Virginia at the infamous Maple Festival!

My group, the Little Switzerland Cloggers performed last Saturday at The Highland Center. We had a great crowd, and I even met some new cloggers from the Swift Creek Cloggers of Richmond, Virginia.

If you're in Highland County this weekend for the Maple Festival be sure to check out my buddies the Hi-Horse Cloggers of Standardsville, Virginia. They will will be "kickin' it" this weekend.

I'm heading out now to headline at the WASCA Clogging Workshop in D.C.! Stay tuned.... :-)

The Calm Before the Storm is Over

In the last two weeks, I've been busier than a one-legged man in a butt kickin' contest. My pre-season responsibilities include: finding new outfits for three different divisions of my group and 20 different body types, getting new routines ironed out, promoting shows, getting routines ready to teach at workshops - the list is never ending.

Here are some places you can find me in the weeks ahead:

Saturday, March 13 @ 3:15 p.m. - Performing with the Little Switzerland Cloggers at the Highland County Maple Festival

Saturday, March 20 (All Day) - Teaching at the WASCA Clogging Workshop in Alexandria, VA

Saturday, March 27 @ 7 p.m. - Performing with the Little Switzerland Cloggers at the historic Buchanan Theatre in Buchanan, Virginia

Saturday, April 3 - Performing with the Little Switzerland Cloggers in Waynesboro, VA at the Mad Hatter's Easter Event hosted by the Wayne Theatre

Saturday, April 17 @ 5-8 p.m. - The Little Switzerland Cloggers are hosting Dinner and a Show in our hometown of Monterey, Virginia!

I have a feeling I'm going to need a vacation in May! :-)
