Clogging class

The Clog Dance is a percussive dance style primarily found in the United States, often associated with Appalachian and bluegrass music. It involves using the dancer's footwear to create rhythmic sounds by striking the heel, toe, or both against the floor or each other. Clogging can be performed individually or in teams and has roots in various European and African dance traditions.


The Clogging Class meets every Monday at 2 PM in the Hall.

Dulcimer class

The Dulcimer has a long history. Musicians in Asia and Europe have used them for hundreds of years. Many are played with small hammers — called hammer dulcimers. Today we focus on the Appalachian (mountain) dulcimer, which developed in the early 19th century and is part of the zither family of string instruments. Some historians trace its roots all the way back to the ancient lyre. The name comes from words that mean "sweet sound."


The Dulcimer Class meets every Monday at 2 PM in the Hall.

Genealogy


Genealogy class

Let's consider exactly What Is Genealogy and why you might be interested in it. Genealogy is the study of a family's ancestry. It comes from the Greek word "generation" and it can be a great way to connect to your family, history, and genetic records all the way back to the beginnings of record keeping.

Starting a genealogy project begins by speaking with your family members — often the best way to learn about your family history. From there, you can dig into municipal documents like birth, death, and wedding certificates, plus census and property records. Genealogy is a combination of detective work and careful record keeping.

Genealogy is a great way to connect to the world around you. It provides a sense of history and connection. Interested in learning more about your family tree? Start with your living relatives — give them a call and learn where you come from.


The Genealogy Class meets every Wednesday at 3 PM in the Lounge.
