Cloggers to Perform at Crawdad Days in Harrison, AR

It's that time of year already... Get your bibs on and dig into those crawdads! IT'S CRAWDAD DAYS! The Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce will host the 21st annual Crawdad Days May 20th & 21st at Lake Harrison.

The Clogging Studio will perform Saturday, May 20th at 11:00-11:30 a.m. The Harrison Hoedowners will perform with some of our adult students. We have enjoyed participating in this event since 2007 and only missed last year due to rain. This area has seen enough rain - hopefully this year will be sunny and beautiful!

Important Notice

The Clogging Studio has been temporarily closed as Ms Tamsyn takes a year off. This decision was not made lightly, it was quite hard.

The Harrison Hoedowners will remain intact. The team will complete its 2011 season and break for the summer. If you are a clogger with experience and want to compete, please contact Ms Tamsyn to be placed on the call list to be notified when the team will resume this fall. These are the only new students being accepted until the studio reopens. More details to come in August.

If you are in the Harrison area seeking clogging classes, the best choice is to contact Blake Dunn at Dance Branson. This is the only comparable option. As always, if you simply want to dance, we highly recommend Deborah Moore Academy of Dance.

Thank you to our studio family past and present for years of memories, support, and sharing clogging with the community.

Cloggers to Perform at Friday on the Square in Harrison, AR

The Clogging Studio will participate in Friday on the Square for its fifth year in a row. Catch a clogging demonstration on Friday, May 6th 5:45-6:15 p.m. directly in front of The Clogging Studio on the west side of the historic Harrison square. Students of all levels will be performing.

The format of Friday on Square has changed this year now that the Historic Harrison Business Association has taken over. It is no longer an arts-themed event the third Friday of every month, but a themed family event the first Friday of the month 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The theme for May is Cinco De Mayo.

Debut performance at Friday on the Square, June 2007

We hold Friday on the Square near and dear... Our performance at the June 2007 Friday on the Square was our very first performance. We had just opened in March with nine brand new beginners. With four routines, they hit the pavement and never looked back. You can find TCS performing at Friday on the Square every month May through September (except June) every year. Last year the studio moved to the square which we now perform in front of each month.

 June 2009

We look forward to seeing our fans and getting back into the swing of these Friday night gatherings. We hope you will join us!

Cloggers Perform at KBCN Radiothon for Arkansas Children's Hospital

We were pleased to take part in the annual KBCN Radiothon for Arkansas Children's Hospital. Several students from The Clogging Studio attended to perform curbside at A+ Education Supply in Harrison, Arkansas.

KBCN personality, Lisa Johnson, was positioned on the roof for the day, not to come down until the goal was met.

The goal this year was to raise $33,000 and by the close of the day, the community donated over $50,000! Way to go KBCN!

Thank you to our students and parents who were able to make it out. This performance was dedicated to our studio family, the Helms, who are currently at the Arkansas Children's Hospital.
