Comments on: Who’s the Best in Adult Clogging? http://www.clogon.com/blog/2009/07/13/whos-the-best-in-adult-clogging/ Thu, 17 Jun 2010 18:32:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: LisaC http://www.clogon.com/blog/2009/07/13/whos-the-best-in-adult-clogging/#comment-3188 LisaC Tue, 20 Apr 2010 17:27:33 +0000 http://www.clogon.com/blog/?p=176#comment-3188 I totally agree that instructors should not be allowed to compete against the Senior teams. Clogging is a career for them, give the teams that are still trying to get to the instructors level a chance to shine! I do enjoy watching the teams with "professionals" dancing so my suggestion would be to have a different catagory for them to dance and compete in.

Steve and Allison brought out the best in me as far as clogging goes and I continue to love it to this day because of their teachings. I must add though, Allison is my daughter.

I think Mike Curtis is one of the best clogger/dancer that I've ever seen. Mike is the one who coordinates "All That" & I think they bring so much to the world of clogging. I love to watch them perform, it just really puts a big smile on your face!! Not to mention....none of them are too bad to look at either. I like Mike, but my favorite is Delohn!! Oh yeah!

No man can take his talent though, something God truly blessed him with.... here are a few more of my favorite men dancers... Scotty Bilz Burton Edwards Jeff Driggs Chris Hill Ryan Rickard All the above men were inspiration to me growing up. UDF (ultimate dance force) use to be my ultimate inspiration. but... one girl taught me all I know as a "professional" clogger and that is Crystal Muse.... thats one talented woman and I give her credit for teaching me how to use my God given talent. I competed with her team for years and was always proud of who I was. Also Glen Hill boosted my start with introducing me to Crystal. So many people in the clogging world are inspirational and I love seeing clogging so well represented on TV!

I just went to the byu clogging camp and had him as a teacher, as well as Jeff, who is amazing as well! Another great male is Andrew Babbit!

I too think Brent Montgomery is definitely up there with the best of the best. Others that come to mind are: - Jay Ledford - Scotty Bilz - Jeff Driggs I agree with what you said about girls too - so many amazing ones to pick from that it's really hard to say.

From Bill Nichols to Mike Curtis the best two males ever are Burton Edwards and Brent Montgomery. There are too many ladies to pick just two. Burton developed the style that is taught everywhere including internationally. Brent Montgomery carred clogging into venues that had never before seen the likes of clogging.

I am an instructor and I compete with my team because I love dancing and having a good time. I don't think it means that you're big-headed at all if you dance with your team. I think that if you are instructor then you shouldn't be doing a choreographed solo - that's taking it a little too far. But why not have fun with the skills God gave you? There are big-headed instructors and directors but there are also those instructors, like me, who don't really give a rip about competeing and just want to have fun sharing talents and seeing others talents at fun competitions.

If you have the ability to teach these dances and choreo these my hat comes off to you but I don't compete with my dancing because i find that it makes people arrigent and big headed, and that takes the fun away from clogging for others. As far as adults competing that is fine but the should be placed according to level of ability not age. Everyone or no one should have the option to compete.
