Event Description

Tucked in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, this is one of the traditional places cloggers have gathered over the years to enjoy camaraderie and dancing. You'll dance on an old-timey wooden floor where such steps as the Rocking Chair were created. A good portion of the team has indicated they are expecting to go this year, so I'm putting this up for Yellow Rose to consider.

Cabins are available for rent (a cheap stay...about $100 per person for the entire weekend) with kitchens. A hotel also is on the premises if you want to stay with fewer folks. You can see all the instructors and download a registration flier at http://fontanaworkshop.com.

It's a gorgeous location. I've been there several times and enjoyed every trip. You won't find another place to attend a clogging workshop like this. Yellow Rose went last year and had such a blast, we're going back.

We'll leave on the Wednesday or Thursday before the workshop and make it a long weekend. We'll settle the team planning later this year and gauge who wants to stay together in cabins and who might want to be the drivers as we'll caravan down. The cabins all have full kitchens, and most of the cabins have been fully refurbished and look great. Six to eight folks can stay per cabin.

If you only choose one workshop to go to each year, this one should be it! $30 before Sept. 1; $35 after and at the door. No refunds after Sept. 1.

Comment by LINDA on July 22, 2013 at 3:48pm: I went to this last year and it was GREAT, This year I am packing one additional item that may also be helpful for those that may suffer from a little motion sickness and that is BONINE CHEWABLE once a day motion sickness tablets. That mountain trip up is pretty winding and one that needs to be traveled in the daylight. I know my friend Jackie is now interested in going as well so we want to attend the meeting for sure to hear the details
