Inclement Weather

If Albemarle County Schools are closed for the day or close early, clogging class will be cancelled. We will try to add a make-up class to the end.

Basic Clogging Terms

Shoes

Wear flat-soled, tennis shoes or sneakers. It is very important that the shoe be able to slide.

Clogging shoes are allowed at Greenwood Community Center, but students are NOT required to buy clogging shoes for class.

Tennis shoes with a thick tread pattern will make learning more difficult.

Zumba shoes, ballroom dance shoes or any shoe with a smooth-sole work well.

Dance socks fitted over sneakers are recommended.

You can also add clogging taps to your most comfortable sneakers.
