One of our main goals at ClogOn.com is to feature fellow cloggers and teams, not only to get the word out about what they offer in their local (and sometimes national) area, but also to create a clog dancing community that can have a strong “voice” in promoting clogging all over the world.
ClogOn.com has been interviewing clogging instructors from all over the world and will be featuring at least one clog dance teacher per month. If you’d like to be the next “Featured Fellow Clogger”, contact us today!
