Anna
ANNA joined the Geese in October of 2009. She grew up in Minneapolis and loved to tap dance as a girl. Since then she’s been known to break out in tap on a hardwood floor. When she’s not practicing Appalachian clogging with the Geese, she enjoys dancing with her son Del, along with her husband Kevin on banjo. Anna also likes to get out on the town and hear all kinds of live music.
LAURA spent her formative years playing with her doll house, coloring and tap dancing. She has since retired the doll house, but still loves art and all things dance. Laura has been a member of the Geese since 2010 and is thrilled to get to partake.
Colleen
COLLEEN grew up with the Chicago Irish. She was taught to stand on her toes, kick high, and leap gracefully all while her upper body did nothing but stay rigid and obedient. When Colleen’s upper body moved to Minneapolis, it threw her curly wig on the ground upon the discovery of clogging. Now, it is able to loosen up and enjoy moving to music as it pleases. She has been with the Geese since the winter of 2014, and is especially fond of being able to perform for a wide variety of events and audiences with the greatest flock.
INA MAE was born with rhythm in her bones. Daughter of a WGCC fiddle player, she’s been dancing since conception. She first hit the MBOTMA mainstage with the unforgettable ’90s kid-clogging sensation “Sneaky Feet” and is now bucking her way through her second run with the Geese after a couple years off to teach English in China. Just try to catch Ina without a giant grin when she’s clogging – fewer things give her greater joy!
SIENNA has loved performing ever since her debut performance as Mary Poppins in her third grade production of the same name. When going to school in Western Minnesota, she attended Moosejaw for the first time. Ever since, she has been planning her life around the question of “when is the next square dance?” whether it be in Finland, MN, a small town in Vermont, or somewhere in North Carolina. Sienna also likes singing and knows how to assist in a goat birth.
Alice
ALICE grew up in Wisconsin, then moved to Oregon for college where she fell in love with Salsa and Ballroom dancing. She moved back to the Midwest for grad school and met her husband, Lem, in MN. Through their love of Old Time Music they discovered an interest in clogging, which led them to the Geese. When she’s not clogging, Alice enjoys reading, bicycling, hiking, running the occasional marathon, and being active with her two young kids.

Where did ANDY grow up? Well….he hasn’t picked a place yet…..but he was born in a suburb of Minneapolis. Andy realized early on in life that he was not meant for a suburban existence, and as soon as he was able he moved out to the country. He’s currently working on rehabilitating a small farm and would love it if the only thing that brought him into the city was to come practice and perform with the “Geese.” Being fairly “green” with Appalachian Clogging and Old Time Music, Andy was “purple” with excitement when the Geese welcomed him into their flock in January 2017. Andy believes the Geese took him in because he wore britches and suspenders to auditions. They weren’t polka-dot suspenders, but they did the job.
