Welcome to Southern Thunder Cloggers, under the direction of Kristle Banks and Mallory Meyer.  Southern Thunder was established in 2004. We strive to create an environment in which the students learn new skills, gain self-confidence and build friendships. We offer clogging classes for all ages.

Southern Thunder educates dancers of all ages in the local CSRA area and provides a forum to exhibit the dancers’ skills. This forum stimulates the dancers to achieve the highest possible standard of artistic excellence. The Southern Thunder Cloggers also serves the community as it shares its dancers’ achievements at community and civic functions.

The Southern Thunder Cloggers strives not only to provide dancers the opportunity to improve their skill and talent within the classroom, but also to build their confidence outside of the dance school. The Southern Thunder Cloggers firmly believes that if we can teach dancers to perform, we can change their lives. Every dancer is encouraged to set high goals and to continually strive to meet them. Whether it is to perform in local festivals or to travel throughout the nation, these dancers learn to be proud of their talent and to share it with the world.
