NCCA Teachers' Forum The Teachers' Forum part of NCCA is a loose-knit group of clogging teachers and those interested in any aspect of teaching or cueing. The attitude of clogging teachers in this area has always been one of sharing for everyone's benefit. More experienced teachers are happy to help those who are new to teaching. Each issue of the Clog-A-Gram includes a section geared towards teachers and leaders. This is the Teachers' Forum Notes. Check out a sample of a recent issue. The Teachers' Forum Notes are included at no extra charge to all members. The Teachers' Forum also meets once or twice a year to discuss issues concerning teachers or hold seminars for new and experienced teachers. All topics of interest can be covered. Contact Lois Elling if you're interested in the next Teachers' Forum meetings. Last Meeting - Jan. 2010 The last Teachers' Forum meeting was Jan. 23, 2010 at Barrett Community Center, in Belmont, CA before the Blossom Hill Cloggers Winter Dance. There was a terrific turnout at this meeting and we had some great discussions. See the February, 2010 issue of the Clog-A-Gram for a summary of the meeting.
