This year several soloists and duo clogging performers from Dance Dynamics performed across the southeast.
Bailey Lowman received high remarks on her solo performances throughout the year and won overall evening gown and second runner-up in a statewide clogging pageant.
Jessica Johnson has also rocked the stage with her “Rain is a Good Thing” solo, while Hope Edwards and Shannon Cothran have done very well with their dynamic duo to “I Like it, I Love it.”
Brooke Stott, who is also a member of the junior tap and jazz team at Dance Dynamics, competed a clogging solo in very tough competitions and won first and overall in her age division dancing to “Giddy on Up.”
Lindy Wicklund, a rising senior at Polk County High School and assistant instructor at Dance Dynamics, competed her solo in Myrtle Beach, S.C., at Converse College and across North Carolina. She won platinum and third overall at Star Talent Productions. At Southern Dance Masters of America she was awarded high gold and fourth overall. She also received a scholarship for dance and an audition with choreographers from Step Up and winners from Americas Best Dance Crew and So You Think You Can Dance.
Madison Yellen is also a showstopper. She is an elementary member of the competition clogging team who has been awarded numerous performance and showmanship awards, overalls, stars and platinum awards. She was invited by Star Power to dance at Walt Disney World. She just recently returned from performing at Walt Disney World, where she learned choreography from some top instructors, performed her solo for professional judges and danced along with other top dancers from across the country.
