World of Clogging Workshop

It's a short drive to this workshop in Cincinnati over Memorial Day weekend. Instructors include Scotty Bilz, Jeff Driggs, Naomi Pyle, Joel Harrison, Kenneth and Kelly Fithen, Jamie Vincent, Paul Melville, Trevor DeWitt and Morgan Hudson among others. A schedule of events and registration form can be found at http://worldofclogging.com. Workshop routines are taught from 1-5 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday. Fun dances are both nights from 7:30-10:30 p.m. Sunday is an all-day competition that you can watch for free with your workshop ribbon, though as a team in the past we've made it a day at Kings Island amusement park. The workshop offers discount tickets.

Cost of the workshop is $25 if pre-registered before May 17; $30 after and at the door. Spectators are $10, syllabus with cue sheets is $10, video camera tags to film during the workshop are $25 and event T-shirts are $15.

The host hotel is the Cincinnati Crowne Plaza, 11320 Chester Road, 45246. All the workshops are in the hotel. Clogger rate is $92/night until April 22. Tell the reservations person you want the "World of Clogging" rate at (513) 771-2080 or (877) 227-6963.

The team always makes this trip. A new routine is taught every hour. Make some comments below if you'd like to do Kings Island as a group on Sunday.
