It started with an afternoon of simple practice drills. One of our dances for upcoming Christmas shows requires a group including several less-experienced cloggers to enter the stage doing triples as they move to their assigned spots.
We set aside practice time to focus on the concept of covering distance while performing accurate clogging steps. After several rounds of triples traveling across the room, we moved on to turkeys. That's when the real fun began!
This week's post is about something different, but there IS a clogging tie-in, promise!
NaNoWriMo, short for National Novel Writing Month, takes place each November. The goal is to write a total of 50,000 words of your book in a month. (This may or may not actually complete a novel.)
Yours truly is giving it a go for the first time! I am not alone in this. At least one other clogger (Good luck to Kimberly in Dayton, Ohio!) is participating AND she's done it before.
In addition to clogging, I perform as half of the comedy skit team Otis & Daisy. Our skits tell the adventures of Daisy and her younger brother, Otis (played by clogging teammate Dustin Williams).
On many occasions, we need to borrow something random to use as a prop or complete a costume, and I've discovered the following:
1. My family and friends own weird stuff!
2. A little creativity goes a long way when coming up with props for cheap!
Here are ten examples:
