Weekend Description:
Tired of sitting on the sidelines while others play music? This weekend workshop is for you!

You will learn the basics and beyond in this 8-hour clogging/flatfoot weekend workshop. Each session starts with a warm-up followed by instruction on a variety of basic steps. We will work in a large group, small groups, and individually learning how to string steps together and to improvise. You can take video of new steps after each class, and we will finish with some simple stretches. My teaching style is to dance more and talk less, so you will be active. We will take breaks as needed - interspersing dance with related discussions about footwear, places to dance, history of the dance, portable dance floors, music structure, and more.

Friday is an open introductory workshop, so expect a larger group. The weekend experience will be limited to 15 dancers. Children ages 10 and above are welcome if accompanied by a participating parent.
