Cabin Fever Clogging Workshop in Mansfield, Ohio is a gentle wake-up from winter hibernation. This friendly, one-room workshop, hosted by Buckeye Country Cloggers, gave approximately 130 dancers a first look at routines that will later appear at larger workshops.
Come on, come on to Cabin Fever Clogging Workshop! Getting there is half the fun.
The time arrived to pack up the Mighty Cruze and head north to Mansfield, Ohio for the first clogging workshop of the year!
I arrived Friday afternoon in time to experience one of Mansfield’s major attractions:
Richland Carrousel Park opened in 1991, and was recently closed briefly for maintenance work. It looked all shiny and new!
For a day, I clogged with Kings!
Still recovering from Smoky Mountain Encore, I made a much shorter drive to Columbus, Ohio for a rare opportunity hosted by the Yellow Rose Cloggers.
One Day Only: Clog with Josh provided a rare opportunity to learn from Josh King, an acclaimed clogging instructor who originally hails from Texas but will soon be returning with his family to Melbourne, Australia.
Even if you don’t know his name, you probably know some of his choreography. Does “All Shook Up” ring a bell?
It's a CLOG world after all: Smoky Mountain Encore 2019
Smoky Mountain Encore workshop in Gatlinburg, TN is a favorite for Fancy Free Cloggers. Many non-dancing family members tag along to enjoy a mini vacation while we clog our feet off. Our young dancers were particularly excited about this year’s Disney theme and the chance to dress up as princesses in the show.

Buckeye Country Cloggers know how to host a fun workshop AND pack it up into cute prize baskets! (More on that later.) I suspect they possess some ability to control weather, as their workshop weekend ushered in a welcome relief from sub-zero temps.
OFFICIAL COMPLAINT: If they control the weather with dance, the cue sheet is noticeably absent from my syllabus. Bummer!
Dia de los workshop clogging at Florida Clogging Festival 2018!
Get out and clog! Cabin Fever Workshop 2018: THE PREQUEL
Nothing cures winter doldrums like a clogging workshop! It was my privilege to join approximately 161 delightful folks in Mansfield, Ohio last weekend to dance it out at Cabin Fever, hosted by the Buckeye Country Cloggers.
Every trip has its challenges. Same as last year, I drove the 140ish miles to Mansfield the night before Cabin Fever. The difficulty came in trying to eat dinner Friday.
