Barb started clogging in 1981 when a fellow square dancer introduced her to �a new form of dancing�.  Together, they decided that the teen square dancers might enjoy learning this dance form so they started classes that same year.  With the encouragement of the caller for the teens & a book written by Sheila Popwell, they held clogging classes before the teen square dance.  Barb�s friend moved away to start married life & left Barb holding the bag.  Turned out the teens weren�t all that interested in clogging but there were some adults who were.  Barb was one step ahead of her dancers until 1988 when she was invited to become a member of the Northwest Clogging Association.  That first workshop was a huge eye-opener to her.  Since that first workshop, Barb has attended all but one NWCA workshop & taught at several of them.  She has served on the Board of NWCA as secretary, Vice President, Publicity & Program.  In 2004, Barb was awarded the Val Mackey award from the NWCA for the person that year it was felt had promoted clogging the most.  Barb has also taught at 3 Canadian National Square Dance Conventions, 7 Provincial Conventions (4 of which she coordinated), 8 C.L.O.G. National Conventions & several regional workshops.  She attained her CCI in 1998 & in 2002 organized the first Canadian CCI training session.  She now mentors other instructors in their CCI training & instructs at CCI sessions at National Conventions.  Barb teaches 3 clogging classes/wk & has taken some of her dancers to the Austrian Alps Performing Festival.  Her love for travel also took her & her dancers on a clogging cruise to the western Caribbean.  Together with her husband Larry, she sponsors the annual Sealion Stomp clogging workshop in Nanaimo, B.C.  They have done this for 23 years.  She & Larry have been married 43 years & have 2 daughters & 4 grandchildren.  Barb retired in Dec 2006 after 40 years of working as an x-ray tech & is now enjoying being at home pursuing all the activities she loves � family, hiking, sewing, gardening & clogging.
