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!

 Harrison Hoedowners 2011


Results
Tallahassee (Harrison Hoedowners) - Teen Division Top 6
Hicktown (Amanda, Brooke, Dakyn, Dawson, Lillie, McKenzie & Shakoda ) - Teen Division Top 6
Krista - Teen Division Top 6
Footloose (Debbie & Marti) - Adult Division Top 6
Eastbound and Down (Amanda, Debbie & Marti) - Adult Division Top 6 and Adult Division 3rd Place


Amanda, Debbie, and Marti - 3rd Place Adult Division "Eastbound and Down"

Lastly, thank you to all of our parents who stuck out the long day, traveled in bad weather, kept a positive attitude, and made this all possible for the kids.

Summer Clogging Class in Harrison for Boys

The next summer clogging dance class at The Clogging Studio I would like to announce is for boys only in the Harrison, Arkansas area.

Our Boys Only Intro to Clogging Class is for 7-12 year olds who would like to try clogging and learn a little bit about it before jumping in to regular classes.



Designed for the brand new beginner, this class will take students through some of the most basic clogging steps as they learn a basic clogging routine. Terminology and history will be taught alongside demonstrations of different types of clogging and competitive clogging.

Dawson Brereton will serve as assistant for this class. Dawson is 12 years old and is the 2009 GNCC Grand Champion Amateur Male Soloist.

Class will meet Tuesday, July 19th 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Cost is $10. Class size is limited to ten campers.

Bonus: Sign up for fall classes during camp and receive your $25 registration fee waived.

To register for the Boys Only Intro to Clogging Class, simply swing by The Clogging Studio located at 116 N. Willow on the west side of the Harrison Square between My Friend's Closet and Fraley's. The studio opens at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. 

On a side note... If you have a male dancer or a boy interested in dancing, we highly recommend watching the "Male Voices" series by Rhee Gold. It touches on the trials, joys, and pressures of being a male dancer. Click here to see the first video in the series.
