Clogging to Begin

Clogging
Every Tuesday beginning at 5:30 pm

What is clogging?

Clogging, or clog dancing, is a lively dance with roots in Irish jig, English country dances, Scottish dances, African steps and rhythms and possibly even a bit of Cherokee Indian. It is a percussive dance, meaning the dancers beat out rhythms with their feet. Settlers brought their own dances and music to the Southern Appalachian Mountain area, where they were relatively isolated from other parts of the country. These steps and styles mixed together into what we now call clogging.

Who is teaching? 
Jill Jackson has been clogging for 19 years!  She has performed in shows all over the south including Six Flags, Stone Mountain Georgia and the Olympic Ceremonies in Atlanta.  She currently works at a local bank.  

The Cost & times of class?

The cost of the classes is $40 per month ($50 non-members).  Beginner classes will start at 5:30 pm each Tuesdays.  More classes will be added as the demand increases.  Payment is due at the time of registration and at the first of every month.  Additional cost include cost of shoes.  Participants are responsible for getting their own shoes for class.  Jill will contact you once you have registered with the information on getting shoes.
