Siblings in sync
Clermont clogging clan stays in step with a winning dance team
0401cloggers1
The Cantrells practice one of their clogging routines at their Clermont home studio. The siblings compete with a group from Cumming, but individually the youths are national champions and scholarship winners. From the left they are Savannah, 13, Callie, 17, Jackson, 11, and Parker, 15.
The Cantrell siblings are a high-kicking, toe-standing, folk dancing conundrum. It’s not every day that you meet brothers and sisters ranging in age from 11 to 17 who are willing spend the bulk of their waking hours together. It’s also not every day you meet a group of young performers so focused on keeping an old-school style of folk dance alive.
