Mountain Thunder Cloggers at Weaverville Roots

Yesterday, Norris and Cheryl went to Main Street Weaverville to the first ever Weaverville Roots Festival.  It was a celebration of the town and its history. One of the highlights was this group of cars at Rodney's.


 



 
When we arrived, there was a bluegrass band just finishing their set.





But the real reason we went was to see the Mountain Thunder Cloggers perform.  Cheryl took clogging lessons with this group for about three and a half years. She never performed - she just wanted to learn the steps. Here's a quick clip showing them doing one of the numbers Cheryl knows.



It was hot and there was no relief from the sun for the dancers. But that didn't stop young Amber - the instructor's daughter - from making her appearance.



Sometimes her version of the steps was unique, but she knew some of the moves perfectly!





Here are two more video clips of the Mountain Thunder Cloggers at Weaverville Roots, showing their versatility. The audience really was delighted with their dancing!

Had no idea you were "filming"!! Thanks for taking pics of MTC. It is always good to get an audience member's perspective for a true critique. That one of Amber is precious!!

You mentioned the classic cars, and that is what intrigued me the most. Weren't they beautiful? All so different then. Now most cars look the same, so I can't really tell them apart any longer.

Gosh, those ladies have great stamina. I can understand why they are a crowd pleaser.Were there many other displays?
