Spaghetti Stomp Success

The Spaghetti Stomp is over, $1000+ was raised for the Harrison Hoedowners, and nothing remains but some balloons in the lobby. We are truly blessed by the generosity of our community. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

City Slicker Stomp in Kansas City

The City Slicker Stomp Workshop and Convention was held this past weekend in Kansas City. Over a dozen instructors from across the country and Germany taught classes all day Saturday. Friday night was a mixer, Saturday night was the competition.

The Clogging Studio had a great crew of 13 students attend - many for the first time. A nice break in the day, we have lunch together before heading out to more classes...

Congratulations to all of our students who competed. Kudos to the tired mommas and poppas who support their cloggers through a weekend-long clogging bonanza. Thank you to Missy and the Kloghoppers for a wonderful event. We look forward to next year!

CMN Talent Contest Results

The Clogging Studio was represented by 13 entries at the Children's Miracle Network Talent Contest in Clarksville this weekend. The contest had a very high turnout this year and it was fierce competition (out of nine winners from three divisions, only two were dancers, one was a musician, and the rest were singers). We are very pleased with our results! Most importantly - everyone did their best.

This weekend the Harrison Hoedowners 2011 made their debut with a traditional line to "Tallahassee". Amanda, Dakyn, Dawson, Lillie, McKenzie, and Shakoda worked very hard to make it past prelims into finals where they performed a near-flawless routine. They wanted to make a shout out - we missed you this weekend, Madison!

First Competition of the Season This Weekend

The first competition of our 2011 season is this weekend and we want to wish all of our students going a hearty GOOD LUCK: Amanda, Brooke, Dakyn, Debbie, Dawson, Krista, Lillie, Maggie, Marti, McKenzie, Shakoda, Rachel, and Robin.

The Children's Miracle Network Talent Contest in Clarksville, Arkansas is a great way to start off the season. It is a fundraiser for CMN. Singers, dancers, musicians, and variety acts come to throw it down. The top six acts from each age division advance to finals later that night. Winners receive a cash prize.
