Karen Hamilton and Jacque Harvey fell in love with clogging after taking classes through the Minot Community Learning Center. In 2019, Jacque and Karen opened The Clogging Place in Minot where they have been blessed to introduce the love of clogging to others, including Sheri Cormier, Amanda Olson, Susan Renfandt and Christine Roberts. Together, these six dancers make up the Heart of Dakota Cloggers.

Heart of Dakota Cloggers entertains audiences clogging to a variety of music, including oldies, country, bluegrass, and more. The group has performed for Frozen Fingers, an old-time and bluegrass music festival, Salute to Seniors, Dancing for Special Stars, and other local organizations.

The art of “making music with your feet” brings the group great joy, and it is their goal to share that joy with others.
