Clogging Lessons

Clogging is a type of folk dance in which the dancer's footwear is used percussively by striking the heel, toe, or both against a floor or each other to create audible rhythms, usually to the downbeat with the heel keeping the rhythm.

2025 Beginner Lessons will start Wednesday, September 17th at Bel Air Elementary School.  Beginners meet 7-8 PM and Intermediate dancers meet 8-9 PM.  Missy Leppo is our volunteer instructor and has created a great mix of fun and entertaining dances set to bluegrass, country, rock and pop music.

Open to youth (age 8 and above) and adults.  Clogging is a great opportunity to dance and exercise with friends and family.  No special shoes are required to start.  Old sneakers or smooth bottom shoes will work best.

New students are only welcomed in September.  First lesson is FREE!  Come to the first class on September 17th.  If you enjoy the class, our fees: 10 weeks for $40, 20 weeks for $70 and 30 weeks for $90.

Intermediate dancers can join at any session.  Fee for 30 weeks is $75.
