		The Pleasant Valley Cloggers encourage our dancers to grow and learn as dancers as well as people. We strive to keep our members challenged and work with them to become the best dancers they can be. One of the many opportunities we offer - are for our most experienced dancers to challenge themselves to the next level - being able to teach others what they know. Being able to teach is a great responsibility and achievement. We thank each and everyone of our instructors for committing to this responsibility. Having multiple instructors is a great opportunity for our group - we are now able to offer many levels to help achieve the individual needs of our dancers.
