What Is Cherry City Cloggers?

Updated

Cherry City Cloggers is a clogging club based at the Salem Square Dance Center in Salem, Oregon. It serves two distinct groups: people who have never clogged before, and dancers who already have experience. If you are new to clogging, the club's Intro to Clogging Class is designed for you, and a new class begins every September. If you have clogged before, you can join the club's Tuesday gatherings at the Square Dance Center.

Who the club is for

The club's own description splits its audience in two:

  • Beginners — the Intro to Clogging Class is explicitly described as being for people new to clogging, with a new session starting each September.
  • Experienced cloggers — those who have clogged before are invited to join every Tuesday at the Square Dance Center.

That split matters when you are deciding whether to show up. A complete beginner should plan around the September start rather than a Tuesday session, while someone with prior clogging experience can look at the Tuesday option.

Where and how to reach them

The club's site also lists a Contact page alongside its class information, so if your question is about a specific class date, level, or what to bring, the phone number and email above are the direct routes.

What the site offers beyond classes

The club's navigation shows the kind of material it publishes for members and visitors:

  • Classes — the main entry point for new and returning dancers.
  • Demos — demonstration-related content.
  • Cue Sheets — organized as Alphabetical, Easy, Intermediate, and Advanced, plus a Demo Song List.
  • Videos — split into Step Videos and Dance Videos.
  • About / Contact Us / Club Information / Other Links — background and contact material.

The cue sheets and step videos are worth noting if you are trying to judge whether the club's style and level match you before attending. The leveled cue sheets (easy, intermediate, advanced) give a rough sense of the range the club works across.

Practical next steps

  1. Decide which group you are in. Never clogged before → look at the Intro to Clogging Class and its September start. Clogged before → look at the Tuesday sessions.
  2. Check the Classes page for current details rather than relying on the summary above.
  3. Confirm before traveling. The site gives a phone number and email; use one of them to verify the current schedule, since class start dates and meeting details can change.
  4. Use the videos and cue sheets to preview the activity if you are unsure what clogging involves.

The one thing to keep in mind: the September start applies to the beginner class specifically, and the Tuesday invitation is aimed at people with prior clogging experience. Matching yourself to the right one is the main decision this club's information asks you to make.
