Band Members: The membership of The Wild Goose Chase Cloggers includes six male and six female dancers and five musicians. Membership is on a voluntary basis and turns over at the rate of one or two per year. The newest member has been with the group for one year. The senior member has been with the group for twenty years. We audition as openings occur.We seek consensus of the current membership when bringing in a new member. This consensus enables a genuine expression of community when we perform. We require that members maintain regular attendance at our weekly rehearsals and are available for a majority of our performances.Except for musicians, we do not require previous experience from new members. We are looking for aptitude and enthusiasm. New members learn by an informal process available within the group. For a person of normal ability, it usually takes two to three years to learn the repertoire.
Influences: Green Grass Cloggers, Girl Germs, Scots-Irish stepping, English Clogging, African-American flat-footing, Cherokee Native Dance, Appalachia, tap, French-Canadian dance, old time string bands, clawhammer banjo,
