The Fontana Square Dance Team emerged from the bustling work-camp environment, later transitioning into a key feature of the Fontana Village Resort's vibrant community life. This transformation was spearheaded by a recreation director who, recognizing the potential for unique marketing, incorporated the Fontana Square Dance Team and the Fontana String Band—now known as the Fontana Ramblers,

Kicking up dust and keeping the rhythm strong! 🦬✨ Had an absolute blast clogging our way through a square dance routine to “Hunting for the Buffalo.” The steps were sharp, the smiles were big, and that old-time groove kept us moving from the first beat to the last. Nothing hits quite like blending clogging footwork with classic square dance calls—there’s just something magical about it. 💥👣 Pull by, swing your partner, and stomp it out! #clogging #squaredance #dancetraditional #fypシ #lincolnco

The Lincoln County Cloggers took the classic Grand Square and turned it into a rhythm-packed clogging moment! 🎶✨ Taps were flying, feet were moving, and every direction change brought a burst of energy across the floor. It’s amazing what happens when square dance tradition meets clogging power—pure fun, pure teamwork, pure excitement. Loving every step this group takes together! #LincolnCountyCloggers #GrandSquare #CloggingFun #SquareDanceRhythm #squaredancers #wvcloggers | Lincoln County Clogg
