Faith performed her solo to "Fisher's Hornpipe". We also performed to the Christmas songs, "I'll Be Home With Bells On", "I Believe in Santa Claus", "Louisiana Christmas".
Faith and Valerie...
Susan and Linda...
Faith, Valerie, Susan and Linda...Stars & Stripes Cloggers performed on December 14 for the Geneological Society. The stage made the taps sound great. The audio on these video clips doesn't do it justice.
Eunice performed first to Kevin Fowler's "Senorita Mas Fina".
Next came "Bagpipes" performed by Faith and Lori. Thanks again, Martha, for all of your help with those kilts. Valerie was ill and didn't get to dance with us that evening.
Then Susan danced to "Cry of the Celts".
We finished up with a dance to Kathy Mattea's "Untold Stories". We had a great time!
Clog On!
The three kilts for our trio dance to "Bagpipes" are nearly done with much thanks to Martha for helping me sew on Thursday and Friday evening~!
We will just pin these ribbon "thingys" inside the cuff of our knee socks.
My work table is cluttered with several projects! We have several dances planned. Susan will do a solo to "Cry of the Celts", Eunice will do a solo to "Senorita Mossfina" (I am guessing on that spelling.) Valerie, Faith and I will dance to "Bagpipes". Faith might do a solo to "Fisher's Hornpipe" and four of us will dance to "Untold Stories". We will be dancing for the local Geneological Society. 
I had to make a dreaded trip to the grocery store this morning! It is always a madhouse the week of Thanksgiving. I noticed these cute bows and picked up several packages of them. I am thinking they would be cute for Christmas performances! 
We are thrilled to have Susan, our director, back with us! We have been hard at work. Well it is not really work since dancing is fun. I guess we have been hard at "fun" getting ready for two performances in December. We are scheduled to dance for our local Geneology Club on Monday, December 14. We are planning dances to songs that reflect the heritage of different countries. Then on December 16, we will perform dances to Christmas music for Twin Pines nursing home.
We did a practice run through our dances while the residents were having their dinner. As they finished dinner, many came by to watch.
After dinner, we performed in one of the dining rooms.
Not all of us could make it that night! Dancing are (l to r) Faith, Valerie, Elsa, Martha, Lori and Marj.
Thank you to Martha's husband, Nick, for letting me use his photos!We had a great time clogging for the residents of Twin Pines Nursing Home. The smiles and toe tapping really made us feel welcome! We performed 6 dances-"Sky Full of Angels", "Sugar Foot Rag", "Bad Moon Risin'", "Religion in Glory", "The Great Defenders" and "Amos Moses". Then 3 of us performed our dance to "Kentucky Thunder". Several residents arrived after we had finished, so we "encored" 2 dances. We were pretty tired after that. This was our first time to perform "The Great Defenders" by Lee Greenwood. They asked us to visit regularly, and we look forward to doing so!
Clog On!
