I just wanted to say I had a great time! This was the first clogging workshop I have ever attended, and I have been clogging for about 7 years. I am a part of Bill Robinson's Wizards of Dance group, and we had about 25 dancers at the workshop. We all had a great time, and look forward to coming back next year!
I can imagine and the appreciate amount of work and coordination that it took to pull off the whole event....the show was FABULOUS!
Thanks again!

Hey there! I just got home from the Smoky Mountain Encore, and I wanted to say it was one of the best times I have had. I hope there are more to come. I was writing in regards to T-shirts and DVD’s. I did not get the chance to purchase the DVD’s, I was wondering if there was anyway to do it online, or sending you a check through the mail. I loved all the dances, the show was incredible, and of course all the WONDERFUL instructors and Ms. Lynne The nicest lady in clogging. Please let me know if there are any items left over from this weekend, and how I may purchase them. Hope to hear from you!!!

I appreciate all the hard work and time you and your staff put into the Smokey Mountain Encore.

I have two daughters, 9 and 11 that are second and third year cloggers. We always look forward to the Gatlinburg event as a family and a clogging company.

I'd like to say in response to this year's event that the Saturday night show was excellent. We enjoyed the show so much. It was professionally written and performed.

The workshops were great.

Thank you!

Hopefully you get this email because I wanted to let you know what a great time we had at Encore. My daughter, Kayla Emory, dances for NXS (Amy Jolley) and we had a great time. I think this was the best one ever and I really enjoyed the show Saturday night. I laughed so hard I cried...Bravo for a great weekend. We look forward to next year.

This was my first time at the "Encore", and it was GREAT!!! Loved the variety of workshops and levels of ability. I heard several people say that the Saturday night show was unbelievable!!! I was very impressed with how all the team's routines came together to tell a story!! I can not even begin to imagine how much work into all of it. You all did a great job this weekend and should be proud!!! Broadway has nothing on you guys! Hope you will have the opportunity to take a few days to recoup!

Wow is all I can say! This past weekend at Encore was amazing. I had such a great time and it was hard to believe that you could of have packed anymore talent into this weekend. The classes were very challenging and the staff were remarkable. I am still getting over the soreness today.

I can't go any further without saying that the show on Saturday night was out of this World. The Choreographers, dancers, and staff I have to tip my hat off to you guys. It was so much fun being a part of such a wonderful clogging family. You guys rock, so please keep on Rocking. Simply unbelievable!!!!!!! I will definitely be coming to the next Encore. See ya next year!

Hi guys! I'd like to commend Lynne for doing a wonderful job putting Encore together! I am very excited to have been a part of the first ever Encore, with many great years to come I'm sure! I had a wonderful time teaching & dancing in the show. It was definitely the best show ever! I really enjoyed it. Lynne & the rest of the staff that helped write the show & get it all together....you are the best!!! Brandon & I have already been asked to teach again next year, so I hope you'll join
us in 2007 for another great Smoky Mt. Encore!

I think this years workshops rocked! I had so much fun in the show. I have been coming to the gatlinburg workshops for 9 years now and i have to say this year was one of the best. I cant wait till next year.

Kayla, South Carolina

Thanks for a great weekend of clogging and lots of laughs!!! Once again you have delivered the best workshop clogging has to offer. Your staff is always the best of the best and that's what keeps all levels of cloggers coming back from the "so called" retired -- like me -- to the beginners! I can't wait till next year to see Southern Connection back in lights. Thanks for all your hard work!!! P.S. Great pictures on the site!!
