Nickel City Clogging Festival

April 30, May 1 & 2, 2009

at the Holiday Inn Grand Island

Grand Island, New York

 

Nickel City 2009 will be our 23rd festival! 

We are proud to say we are one of the longest running and largest workshops in the country. 

 

Nickel City started in 1986 when a group of cloggers decided to host a small workshop.  We've grown from a small staff to one that is impossible to count, and the entire staff is made up of volunteers from the WNYCA.  We started with local instructors and now host at least 10 national instructors every year.  We added workshops on Fridays and a fun dance Thursday night.  Saturday night has seen production shows, Bluegrass bands, Saturday night exhibitions, and some of the best fun dances in the country.  In the end, the one thing that hasn't changed in 23 years is the reason we do this: we love clogging together.  The size of our clogging family grows with each workshop, but that only fits with the fun of it -- the more, the merrier!  If you've never been, we hope you'll consider joining us to see what it's all about!  If you know what it's all about, we look forward to seeing you next year!
