| January/February: Skyline Country Cloggers |
The Skyline Country Cloggers, based in Crozet, Virginia, is a non-profit
club for the purpose of promoting and continuing the rich heritage of
American clog dancing.
Our group was founded in 1987 and several founding members still
dance on the team. Many others have been with the club for at least 20
years. While that longevity makes everyone feel like family, we also
have some married couples and mother-daughters on the team.
We teach beginning clogging through Albemarle County Parks &
Recreation every year and welcome new members with clogging
experience all-year long.
While we have exhibited and competed at both state and national
workshops, our focus is performing and entertaining. We dance to a
wide variety of music from swing to popular, but like to maintain a
core of bluegrass routines. About half of our repertoire is
choreographed by team members, the other half we learn at workshops.
We love being regular performers at the Crozet Arts & Crafts Festival,
the Virginia State Fair and the Graves Mountain Lodge Apple Harvest
Festival. We typically schedule 10-15 performances per year.
Our team shares leadership and teaching responsibilities. While any
member can suggest a dance and teach it to the club, primary teaching
is shared between Becca White and Krisan Marotta. Becca joined the
team in 1988, and begin teaching in the early 1990s. She is our artistic
director, choreographs most of our routines, and writes and prepares
most performances. Krisan joined in 1999 and begin teaching in the
early 2000s. She teaches most of the dances we learn at workshops to
the rest of the club, handles the music, and schedules most of the
shows, and designs many of the performances.
