We ended the 2007-2008 clogging season with yet another trip to Nationals to watch these girls climb their way to the top. With a full season of hard work, and hours of practice each week, They were able to take the title of 1st place in several categories at Nationals this year. Congratulations girls!

This is McKenna's second year clogging on the advanced team. After tryouts last August, two new girls joined the team. It will be nice to add a few dancers to the mix.
McKenna & Jeff, her coach. McKenna truly has a passion for clogging. She is in her element each time she gets on that stage and works the crowd with her dancing and facial expressions. Not a day goes by without her pounding on the hard wood floors working on her dances. ( without the clogs of course) She has been known to even clog in the shower!

These girls LOVE Jeff. He has been clogging since he was 3. He recently got married and wants to teach his wife how to clog. :)
This was taken at the competition held at NNU in February. This is one of the competitions they qualified for Nationals at. As one of team mom's would say: " You Go Girls! "

"Group Hug" and Jeff wishing the girls " Good Luck" just prior to dancing their 1st dance at Nationals. This dance was to the song: "That Thing You Do"
McKenna and one of her teammates McKailey, did a duet this year. In the category McKenna is clogging in, if you choose to do a duet you are required to do all the choreography. These girls spent HOURS together, changing, critiquing, and perfecting their dance. It all paid off! In order to make it to Nationals you must receive a 1st place in a prior competition. ( this goes for all dances) They accomplished that and were able to take it to Nationals where they received a 1st place. The video clip is a bit dark as it was filmed in an outdoor pavilion, but you can still hear the sounds of the clogs and the rhythm that they make together as they dance. Enjoy! ( McKenna is on the right with the guitar, and you will have to mute the music on our blog in order to hear their music.)

The talented feet of Miss McKenna. I've seen them in action, and I was very impressed. Mine could never dream of moving as quickly or as accurately as hers. By the way mom Morrill, nice blogging!
