Here's how we did this summer, every placing at every competition. Our young dancers are listed by first name only. The grown-ups said I could use their whole names, and most of them asked me to spell them right, so I hope I did.

A word on how it works, for new families. At a clogging competition, each team dances its routine on the stage in front of a panel of judges, who score it on precision (everybody's taps together, on the beat), the difficulty of the steps, how clean the formations are, and showmanship. Solos and duets are judged the same way, by age group. A "line" is a smaller group dancing in a line instead of a full team formation. Places are first through third, sometimes more in the big divisions.
