Wild Goose Chase Cloggers

Annual “MooseJaw” Dance

Weekend Mar. 11-13

Dance to the calling of Nancy Mamlin and the classic old-time sound of the legendary Chirps Smith on fiddle and Steve Rosen on banjo.  Swing the night away with Minnesota-based Rusty Swingset! — fiddler Betsy Neil, guitarist Brian Neil, bassist Mark Gunderson and lap-slide guitarist Gary Powell.  Workshop offerings will include fiddle, banjo, guitar, bass, singing and many dance forms. There’s also miles of beautiful cross country skiing, the sauna and hot tub, and of course, a bottomless cookie jar.

The Wild Goose Chase Cloggers is a 501(c)(3) educational organization dedicated to the promotion and preservation of traditional Appalachian clogging and music.  Email [email protected], or find more information, registration forms and applications for fellowships at  HYPERLINK “http://www.wildgoosechasecloggers.org” wildgoosechasecloggers.wordpress.com.
