We had a great time at Heeler's Hoedown 2017

Look in this section of our website to find out what it was all about. We will let you know the next time we have an event like this.

Let's get back to the true roots of clogging.

To how it all began back in the Appalachian Mountains and have a Hoedown.

And that means a fiddle player, live music and traditional freestyle clogging.

A hearty meal, live music, Freestyle Flatfooting, Freestyle Buck Dancing and Appalachian Square Dancing makes a Hoedown! And that's what you'll be doing at Heeler's Hoedown.

There will also be an inaugural award the "Jarfly" (with different levels of dancing).

Benefits for Dancers:

• Dancers will get to try "freestyle mountain dancing"  to live music. There will be workshops on Saturday to teach us how to freestyle in Buck or Flatfoot and then how to dance to live music.
• We will also get to learn Appalachian Square Dancing (which is freestyle mountain dancing OR clogging  with old-style square dancing - combined together). So you will learn the formation movements for the square dancing component and add them with the freestyling Buck or Flatfoot; again all to live music.
• (Note: Appalachian Square Dance Movements are called/cued)

Benefits for Musicians:

• Get to play live "Mountain - style" music for dancers who appreciate this style of music and who can dance to it in a traditional style.
• Jam with other musicians who prefer bluegrass and old-time music.
• Learn how to play for Appalachian Square Dances.
• Various workshops will be available on Saturday

We'd love to share our country hospitality, so join us for a'hooting and a'hollering time.
