About The Country Steps Cloggers

The Country Steps Cloggers is a clogging group based in Westwood, Cincinnati, Ohio. The club's main objective is to have a lot of fun. Most demos are for local festivals and schools. We also visit Nursing Homes on a regular basis.

The club started in Cleves, Ohio, at the Country Step Cloggers Hall owned by Art & Colleen Tenhundfeld. Art & Colleen have been involved in square dancing and clogging for many years. Their daughter, Pam Bachmann, has been the instructor for the Country Steps Cloggers since 1989. Clogging for the Tenhundfelds has always been a family affair. Pam's grandmother, mother, sister (Amy) and her daughter have or still clog with her.

Classes are held on Thursday nights with Club dancing immediately following. Cost is $5.00 per person per class payable each class night. Beginners' classes run for 12 weeks. A partner is not necessary.

Many members of the Country Steps Cloggers (CSC) are also members of the All Ohio Cloggers (AOH). The All Ohio Cloggers have performed in Austria, Washington D.C. and at Disney World, Orlando, FL, as well as many other locations in Ohio. The All Ohio Cloggers returned to Washington D.C. in July 2002 for an international clogging expo, and performed in Hawaii in September 2003.
