Competition - 2008 Rules Signup Sheet
Let us introduce ourselves!
Our mission is to continue the tradition of Appalachian dance by promoting clogging in Central Virginia.
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 over 25 years, the group has grown to include several members that live not only in Orange County but several 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 in Orange, Virginia at the Orange Presbyterian Church starting at 6:30. We have also begun having beginner classes in Orange on Thursday nights from 7-8.
The Orange Cloggers have three age divisions. Performances consist of alternating dances performed by each age division for approximately one hour. If your event requires alternate time schedules, please request this at the time of booking.
Age Divisions
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 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.
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.
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 Young at Hearts practice Thursday nights from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
New beginner classes will held at the Orange Presbyterian Church at 162 W. Main Street in Orange, Virginia at 7:00 p.m. on Thursdays beginning February 7th. Please contact Frank or Betty for information on beginner classes. Come join us and have fun. Everyone is welcome.
