Meet the Instructor

I'm Kathey Huskey-Wilson and I have clogged for twenty two years.
I am a member and Secretary/Treasurer of the Arkansas Clogging Council, a member of the Arkansas Country Dance Society, C.L.O.G., Mississippi Clogging Council, Missouri Clogging Council,  Texas Clogging Council, Crowley Ridge Cloggers, with whom I have clogged with for eighteen years, and the Gateway Cloggers.  I am co-director of the Certified Clogging Instructors board of C.L.O.G.
I received my Certified Clogging Instructor designation in November 2000 from C.L.O.G. and licensed through ASCAP/BMI.  I completed Judging Certification in March 2006.
I have taught clogging for the past eight(8) years in Walnut Ridge, AR. I teach at numerous workshops which includes ClogFest in Pratt, KS., the 52nd National Square Dance Convention in Oklahoma City, OK.,  the Annual Folk Dance Festival in Mt. View, AR. , Gateway to the Ozarks Clogging Workshop(which I host)in Walnut Ridge, AR. Clogging on the Ridge in Jonesboro, AR., The National Clogging Convention, in Orlando, FL. , and Studio for the Arts in Pocahontas, AR.
I own/teach at the Dance Tyme Studio in Walnut Ridge, AR., where I am instructor/director of the Gateway Cloggers.  Besides clogging, I teach Buck, Canadian, Flatfooting, Irish, and traditional hoe-downs. My favorite love of dance is traditional jig dancing.
I enjoy seeking out new challenges, especially in the world of dance. I delight in teaching and watching people grow in traditional dance. My personal goal is to help preserve and promote our heritage of all traditional dance.

History of the Gateway Cloggers
The town of Walnut Ridge was chosen to extend to the people of the community and surronding areas this American Folk Dance. The instructor felt this dance was so much part of the peoples heritage that everyone should have an opportunity to participate. The Gateway to the Ozarks Theathre on Main Street in Walnut Ridge was the only place available in February of 2000 when classes began. Many turned out but few stayed. Upon completion of basics, it just seemed natural to take on the name of Gateway Cloggers. The Gateway Cloggers are now twenty-two dancers strong. Kathey Huskey-Wilson of Jonesboro has been the director and instructor of the group since they started in February of 2000.
