Meet our ELVIS team

South Florida Cloggers has many levels of dance instruction. Becky rolls out a new class of performers each year.

But the team that performs in Daytona each year is selected/committed in June and practices for 2 months.

Its like putting up Christmas lights... we work on one little bit at a time not really sure how it will look in the end

But, when we put it all together, it looks awesome.

No one can imagine the bonding each dancer and their families have with each other by summer's end. We were tight.

Meet our Elvis team....

(left) Our fearless leader, Becky. She is the lead instructor, choreographer, cheerleader, friend, mom, and basically our ROCK. Her mom, husband, and daughter are as much a part of this team as we all are. Rock Step Studio is a family in every way.

(right) Holly. She is an advanced team member. She has the sweetest smile and most beautiful hair. She and her mom, Liana, are the backbone of our team.

(left) Olivia1 - started clogging two years ago, left for a bit, then rejoined the team. (we missed her, what can I say?) She raises the cutest chickens! She enjoys the exercise and is a member of the Intermediate show team.

(right) Lindsay - she and her dad, Ted, attend just about every event and rarely miss a practice. At 11 years old, she started clogging more than 2 years ago and is on the intermediate show team. She is such a sweet girl.

(left) Michele (me) - I started clogging 2 1/2 years ago, while in anesthesia school, as a way of spending time with my older kids. Now that I'm done with school, I'm hooked. Balancing work, clogging and 4 kids= tough but completely worth it!!

(right) Jessica - this girl is a trooper! Can I share that she had a foot injury two weeks before this event. Yet, she forced her foot into the shoe for Elvis! She is also a very good drummer! (love her)

(left) Erica - how cute is this kid? Erica, her mom, Robin, and her sister, Emilia are all dancers with the team. Dancing for more than a year, she is on the intermediate show team. She is as sweet as she is cute.

(right) Samantha - Sammy is one of the reasons I love this team so much. She is my personal good luck charm and near me in each performance or I am lost. Her smile is honest and her heart is pure. She is on the int. plus team.

(left) Jessica - this child lives next door to my family and is the reason we started clogging. At 13, she is TOTALLY into One Direction. She's been dancing for almost 3 years and is on the Int Plus team.

(right) Mia - also lives across the street from our family and has been dancing for 2 years and is on the Intermediate Show team She is a bright girl that brings the cuteness factor to our shows.

(left) Skylar - this girl is a natural dancer and she has the most infectious laugh. She has been clogging for several years and is on the advanced team. Interestingly, Her family sponsors foreign exchange students from Asia; proof that they are not only talented, but caring as well.

(right) Olivia2 - my oldest & on the Int Plus team. She is a Directioner; lives for that band. She started out with hip hop but the lure of clogging drew her in. She's a straight A student with a great sense of humor.

(left) Bri - a HUGE dancer for us, she is another reason I love this team. Always smiling, she is the most natural advanced dancer. She has choreographed at least one song for our routine and I'm sure she has more up her sleeve. Her mom also clogged for a bit.

(right) Meredith - my second child. She is a gifted dancer, learns challenging routines with ease. Her cuteness earns her a spot in everyone's hearts. She is also in love with the band One Direction.

(left) Olivia3 - this little one is the powerhouse of our whole team. She has been clogging for 2 years, but the music genes run hard in this family. (she is the first cousin of Bri above) our comedian, she is a force to be reckoned with, for sure.

(right) Katrina - as a member of the advanced team, Katrina has been clogging for a few years. She works hard for our team and she (with her mom) are always cheerful and smiling.

(left) Stephanie - this girl is the bomb. Her younger brother is also on our team. She was cheer leading for a bit, I'm not sure if she still is, but the 2 schedules made your head spin.

(Right) Lora - she is our # 2 and we wouldn't be a team without her. She cuts our dance mix music, teaches the little cloggers class and she is Becky's right hand man.

Finally... Our ELVIS is Vinnie. Just the fact that his naturally blonde hair is painted black and he was willing to put up with all us girls for the summer of practice means he is a TROOPER! (he is with Mia and olivia3)

So... That's it. That's us.

Our team has a total of 48 cloggers now... All at different levels. I hope to introduce them all to you as I continue to add posts.

Thanks for reading meeting us.
