Welcome to Clogging Connection @ City Center Dance, established in 1995 by Blake Bartlett-Dunn & Heather Bartlett-Kohberger. At City Center Dance, we strive to create an environment in which the students learn new skills, gain self-confidence, and build friendships.
Clogging Connection @ City Center Dance is a nonprofit, educational organization dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the heritage of clogging, as well as other dance and art forms. City Center Dance educates dancers of all ages in the metropolitan Atlanta area and provides a forum to exhibit the dancers skills. This forum stimulates the dancers to achieve the highest possible standard of artistic excellence. The City Center Dance also serves the community as it shares its dancers achievements at community and civic functions.
The City Center Dance strives not only to provide dancers the opportunity to improve their skill and talent within the classroom, but also to build their confidence outside of the dance school. City Center Dance firmly believes that if we can teach dancers to perform, we can change their lives. Every dancer is encouraged to set high goals and to continually strive to meet them. Whether it is to perform in local festivals or to travel throughout the nation, or even overseas, these dancers learn to be proud of their talent and to share it with the world.
The City Center Dance admits students of any race, color, national, or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the dance school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national, or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, or scholarship and loan programs.
Quite often, the challenges of students completing college are not academic, they’re social. After all, if students excelled in homeschool or high school, they pretty much can excel in college.
