In class this week, we learned a dance that I am so hoping we are going to add to the repertoire for Traveling Shoes, our performance clogging team. When doing this dance, you cannot feel anything but happy, happy, happy. I love the Caribbean rhythm. The steps are cute, different and fit the music perfectly. Give this song a listen (clink on the link below) and you'll be guaranteed a happy day!

This week, I made a sales call for Traveling Shoes by dropping in to the Loomis (CA) Chamber of Commerce office. I asked how we could be considered for entertainment at the annual Eggplant Festival, which is being held in Loomis this year on October 1. I was given the contact information I needed. Also learned about Community Day on June 12 in Loomis. My task for next week is to follow-up on these leads. There are many events that are 'ripe for the picking' for our team, I believe.
We are also being considered for an invitational golf tournament at Lake of the Pines on June 28. There would be about 100 women in attendance. Would be really fun to perform there. While we are not a "shoe-in" (no pun intended), I think we've got a good shot at being selected.
I'm going to a clogging class in Sacramento next week with a woman I met in clogging class. She is a delight and dances with AfterShock, a performance clogging team based in Sacramento. Judy invited me to tag along with her and two other ladies to go to their class on Thursday night. Looking forward to seeing the teaching style of other clogging instructors. I love my instructor, Kathy Kaplan - who is awesome beyond words - but it's always good to see and hear how others many teach clogging.
I'm having a ball with my clogging activities. So glad I took up this form of dance!
Clog on!
I love the music. Glad you like it too. I was not 'chosen' as the coordinator, just decided to make some sales calls and stuff happened. I love doing that kind of thing. It's so fun to talk about clogging with people, it just comes naturally. Hope we are successful in getting some gigs!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Karen. I can clearly see you are enjoying clogging I, too love this song Coco Jamboo. It's so catchy and fun to dance to. I know most of the ladies love this dance as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you again for speaking with the Loomis Chamber of Commerce and Lake of the Pines Invitational Golf event. There are numerous opportunities out there for us.
We are happy to have you on our team. I see you added our business card to your blog. It looks great there. See at my house tomorrow for practice.
