Madeline Daughton, third/fourth grade teacher at Round Valley Elementary, used her ARTS ALIVE! funds for Michelle to show the class clogdance. Ms. Daughton bought second-hand shoes to fit each child, then had taps put on the shoes. They were ready to dance! Michelle stepped in with her dance shoes on, her fiddle tuned and taught Irish & Appalachian clogdance. She met with the class once a week for three months. They learned song and dance and performed for an elementary school assembly and for an evening spring concert for the community.

Michelle learned to clogdance at workshops led by Eileen
Carson, whose dance troupe, Footworks has performed with Michael Flatley
and Riverdance. Eileen travels around the world performing and teaching
choreography and dance.

Michelle also traveled to Scotland with her sister, Heidi,
to study Scottish fiddle and dance at a summer camp on the Isle of Skye.
The people of Round Valley supported a benefit performance put on by Michelle
and Heidi that helped fund their trip.
