MormonTimes.com: Blending entertainment, charity
ClogAmerica troupe competes, hands out humanitarian items
ClogAmerica's dancers and musicians believe in global warming the kind that grows out of tapping toes, smiling faces and warm hearts.
Since the group's founding in the early 1990s, members have mixed charity and entertainment all over the world.
Although not officially sponsored by either The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or the United States, ClogAmerica has taken the standards of one and the melting-pot culture of the other while competing in more than 50 major dance festivals.
"We get two or three invitations per year," said Shawnda Bishop, founder and director. "International organizations beg us to come."
