In Beginner Clogging, we teach the 8 fundamental clogging steps from which all the other steps are formed. By the end of class, students will have learned 1-2 routines performed by the club. There is no homework, though we encourage you to practice outside of class.
- Wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing in which you can move easily and bring a water bottle.
- CURRENTLY: Masks must be worn throughout class.
- Students are NOT required to buy clogging shoes for either class.
- Wear flat-soled, tennis shoes or sneakers. It is very important that the shoe be able to slide. Tennis shoes with a thick tread pattern will make learning more difficult. Zumba shoes, ballroom dance shoes or any shoe with a smooth-sole works well. Dance socks fitted over sneakers are recommended, especially for intermediate clogging.
- Children under 12 years old must be accompanied by an adult taking the class.
Classes are held at the Greenwood Community Center, 865 Greenwood Road, Crozet, VA 22932. Clogging shoes are allowed at Greenwood Community Center.
