7. If there were one thing ClogOn.com could do for clogging, what would you recommend?

9. What are the 3 best clogging events you go to on at least a yearly basis?

Unfortunately in my area there is not much, we write most of our routines due to most conventions being so far away. We usually get videos and get new material that way.

Thank you for keeping clogging alive; we see many students wanting to get back to traditional in my areas. Please let me know if I can be of any help , yours truly
