I have always had some form of dancing in my life, always loved to entertain and make people laugh and forget about their troubles for a little while.

 My husband (now retired) was an Officer in the U.S. Air Force, when we were transferred to Scott Air Force Base in 2002.   Shortly thereafter, I found a Country Line Dancing group, and through that group I met Robert Kennedy (aka:  Handsome Rob) and his wife, Susan.

When my husband was deployed in 2004, Robert suggested I check out clogging as another form of dance and diversion.   I went and watched a local clogging team (Cadence in Shiloh, IL) and also watched Thunder & Lightning perform at a Sheep Festival.  Well, I immediately fell in love with clogging - went out and got my shoes that week and had the taps put on them.   I would dance for hours in my garage - like a woman possessed!  I was over the moon with my new love - clogging!

When my husband returned, he turned our garage into a dance studio -- complete with mirrors on the wall and a great sound system!   Robert & Susan, and others from the team would come over and we’d clog in the garage and out into the driveway for hours - I'm sure my neighbors loved us!

There is nothing I like more than getting together for a performance, a workshop, or a fun dance, catching up with friends and, of course, making new friends.
