Green Mountain Cloggers
Exhibition Dance Team

This month also brings an event we are proud to have auditioned in , and been the longest running accepted act into. The Chandler Music Hall's " Mud Season Variety Show". Our practices begin in October each year, and we work along with the rest of our shows and other events, to come together with a totally fantastic, original choreographed routine that has clogging, hip hop, flips, splits, cartwheels, throws, and lifts!!  Formations that are precise and exhilerating! We had alot of fun with this years routine. You can view what we plan to perform in our video gallery as well. The actual show is April 17th and 18th. Showtime is 7 PM.  Tech rehearsal is April 13th at 7 PM< and Dress rehearsal is April 15th at 6 PM. HOW EXCITING!

UPDATE: From the Mud Show!

The Mud Show went really great! It was nice meeting early in our dressing room, and stretching together and hanging out just chatting about the months worth of practices that it took to succeed in our routine.  It really was a blast as it is every year. This group that I had to work with was the easiest to teach, easiest to work with, and very versitile to new crazy dancing and stunt ideas!  I really want to thank them all...

Robin who let us litterally throw her around flip her head over heels and lift her above our heads!

Bailey for her willingness to flip her over and learn some VT style exhibition style clogging!

To Cora and her son Jacob for there involvement once again in their second mud show with us. Cora even was reminded of her old dancing days trying to perform with a broken foot!! So great to see Jacob advance in his steps. I was really happy to share some my competition steps with Jacob and Justin. Both the boys, and Cora really did a great job lifting Robin and showing off their steps!

Tira... well she just reallysurprised us all. Starting in this group not knowing how to dance at all...she came into involve her self thinking she was getting over her head.... I think she even surprised herself...and us all too!! I am very LUCKY to have all these dancers by my side helping this team!

And also thank you to Brittany, who took it upon her self to not only take on instructing BOTH location Irish step classes, but ALSO was at classes for this mud show routine. That is ALOT to take on for a dance who has only been with us for a year too!.... I am very excited for her also managing the Mud Kickin' Cloggers who performed in the Mini  Mud Show too.

Thank you to you ALL!!  Great Job! Please view our videos from the mud show from friday and Saturday night in our video gallery!

The 2nd Annual VT Western & Folk Workshop, being held on April 25th is well underway. We are all so excited to have our new upcoming guest instructors!

I want to send a HUGE THANK YOU, out to Pepper Senquarios, Beth Anne McFadden, and Sid McLam for instructing this year for all of us. With out them this event would not be nearly as exciting!

You will find road signs with our dancing partners LOGO that you can see here above! Look for the signs! The banner which also has the same logo can be found hanging outside at the school as well.

We will have a bake sale to help support our group, selling natural baked items for the health concious, as well as great sugary snacks made to fit in your hand, to keep your energy  UP for dancing all day! MMMM We will also have drinks for sale as well right on the spot!

UPDATE: The workshop went better than expected !!  The attending groups did a awesome job! Please read our seperate workshop news and photos in our gallery!!

I am ordering MORE group t-shirts that will be NEEDED if you are a member spending the day with us at the workshop.

We also take our annual FULL (BOTH locations), group photo, and GMCEDT group t-shirts are needed for that as well!

PLEASE let me know if you need a t-shirt so I can get one to you as soon as the order is complete!

I want to thank Brean Mead, from our Barre class for donating an immeasureable amount of time printing all 500 brochures for our group....oh did I mention she designed them too!! WOW. What a HUGE part of imformation we will be able to hand out this year at our shows, and events!

Speaking of Brean I was proud to accompany her and her friends with the Vermont Fiddle Orchestra during a fantastic LIVE performance at the Montpelier City Hall, April 4th 2009. It was such a treat to perform with them to their live fiddle tunes! The crowd was simply GREAT! Please view the performances in our video gallery!

We have already begun practicing for our summer routines, and have already began to add 3 new ones. More are on the way and expected to start the first class in May!
