FAQs

Welcome to Asheville Clogging & Dance Company!

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers:

Q: I want to sign my child or myself up for one or more classes. How do I do this?

A: You will need to fill out one of our registration forms. You can click here to download our 2010-2011 Registration Packet. Bring in your completed registration form(s) to your first class along with a check for the registration fee and the first month tuition. If you are unsure of how much your check should be, please contact us and we will help you.

Q: What do I do if I want to sign up for a class in the middle of the month?

A: If you want to sign up for one of our classes in the middle of the month, you can! We recommend that you do this rather than wait until the next month as classes progress quickly. If you want to sign up for a class that is $39 per month and it is the second week of the month, we would pro-rate your cost for the month to $29.25. If you signed up the third week of the month we would pro-rate your cost for the month to $19.50. If you signed up the last week of the month we would pro-rate your cost for the month to $9.75.

Q: How often do new classes start?

A: Our dance year begins the first week of August and goes until the end of May. We will end our dance year with the recital in May. We do not have classes in the summer but do have various day camps and performances. Classes will resume in August.

Q: Where is your studio located?

A: Our brand-new state of the art dance studio boasts a 600-square foot specialty hand-made wood floating dance floor, full length mirrors across the entire dance room, a 15 foot-high ceiling, and air conditioning. We also have a large waiting area for parents, two water fountains for our hard working dancers, a bathroom, and an office. Our studio is conveniently located at 44 Buck Shoals Road Suite G-2, Arden NC 28704.

Q: Where can I buy clogging shoes?

A: We will order clogging shoes as a whole group (those who need new clogging shoes) once a year at the end of August. By ordering a large group order we are able to get clogging shoes for about 25% less than retail prices. Following prices includes taps installed on shoes, shipping, and taxes: Children sizes $59, Adult sizes $69, Split Soles $79. Watch for the order form to be handed out in class mid-August.
Before you order shoes, make sure to check the Asheville Clogging & Dance Company bulletin board to see if there are any clogging shoes for sale in the size you need. At any given time there are usually 3 to 10 different listings of clogging shoes for sale, especially in the kids sizes since they grow so quickly! These shoes are usually for sale anywhere between $25-$40. Please note: The Asheville Clogging & Dance Company shoe bulletin board is for the benefit and use of ACDC members ONLY. If you are not a member of ACDC and you post something on our bulletin board it will immediately be removed.

Q: What do I wear to my lessons?

A: You can find details about class attire in our registration packet.

Q: How much does it cost to participate in performances?

A: There is absolutely NO additional cost to participate in performances! We will have anywhere between 8 and 12 performances each year, giving you or your child many opportunities to be on stage, gain self confidence, and invite family and friends to come see you performing your new talent!

Q: I have stage fright and do not want to perform. Is that ok?

A: Of course! No one has to perform if they do not want to. We hope that all Asheville Clogging Company members would want to perform, but if you don't want to you certainly do not have to. You are welcome to just come and enjoy learning new steps and getting a good workout in your clogging class!

Q: Is clogging a good workout?

A: ABSOLUTELY!!! Clogging burns around 400 calories an hour! Clogging has also been found to improve blood pressure, endurance, strength, lung capacity, muscle tone, flexibility, and coordination. It is also a great stress reliever!
