Our Mission

Our mission is to continue the tradition of Appalachian dance by promoting clogging in Central Virginia.  We do this in a family friendly atmosphere that is welcoming and affordable and open to all ages and abilities.

A Little Bit About Us

The Orange Cloggers is a non-profit group.  The group was founded in 1980 by several Orange County residents, hence the name Orange Cloggers!  For almost 30 years, the group has grown to include several members that live not only in Orange County but numerous surrounding counties as well.  Staying true to our mission statement, we are spreading the word about clogging and how much fun it is!

The cloggers practice on Monday nights on Church Street in Orange, Virginia starting at 6:30.  We have also have our Young at Heart classes on Thursday nights from 8:00 - 9:00. 

The Orange Cloggers have four age divisions.  Performances consist of alternating dances performed by different age division for approximately one hour.  If your event requires alternate time schedules, please request this at the time of booking.

Age Divisions

Peewees

The Peewees division range in age from 3 to 6 years old.  This division concentrates on finding the beat in the music and following instructor direction.  Peewees learn to interact with other dancers but do not follow a set routine.  They eventually learn the basic, traditional clogging step.

Peewees practice on Monday nights in Orange from 6:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Juniors

Juniors are ages 7 to 12.  The Junior division concentrates more on learning a routine and matching it to the beat of the music as they continue to interact with others.  Juniors master the basic step and build up to intermediate steps.

Juniors practice on Monday nights in Orange from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Seniors

The Senior division masters the intermediate steps and progress into advanced steps.  They concentrate on precision line dancing and also interact during "Hoedown" routines.  This age division is 13 and up.

The Seniors practice on Monday nights in Orange from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Young At Heart

We also have a Young at Heart division that is for those who love the fun of clogging but don't feel comfortable with doing the more advanced steps.  The age division for the Young at Heart's is from approximately when you feel like it to whenever.

The Young at Hearts practice Thursday nights from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
