NCCA
CONVENTION
NCCA hosts a three-day convention each spring,
held somewhere in Northern California. This is the
biggest event of the year and is a chance for all
cloggers to learn some new dances, experience the best
teachers in the area and often a special guest
instructor, obtain clogging supplies, watch some great
performances, and just see old and new clogging
friends. NCCA has been holding these conventions every
year since 1984.

2019 NCCA Convention with
Guest Instructor Andy Howard
Dancers at the 36th annual convention in Sacramento (May
31 and June 1) had a fun time with featured guest
instructor, Andy Howard from Georgia. He taught us
lively and fun dances and even got most people to do a
mixer. Many other instructors from Northern and Southern
California, Oregon, Washington, Canada, and even
Australia kept the dancers on their toes and busy for
the two days. I heard nothing but happy and satisfied
comments. Many thanks to all the committee members for
putting on a fabulous weekend!

2018 NCCA Convention was
The Barnyard Boogie!

What a great time everyone had at convention again

dancing, instructors, vendors, the convention
facilities, and most of all, the wood floors to dance
on, it was a great weekend. Above are some of the
dancers on Friday night.
Oh boy! Pictures are now online

on April 25-27, 2014 in Modesto. Thanks to chairmen
Kellee and Richard and their crew for putting on a
fantastic weekend. This year's convention was a bit
different in that there were a TON of oldies but goodies
taught, many done in a rapid fire style to fit several
dances into one hour. Believe it or not, there were a
total of 53 dances taught from Friday night through
Sunday morning! Check out the photos
here.
