USA Youth Newsletter - June 2026



For the first time in over 5 years, CIOFF USA Youth was able to have an in person event and workshop! We were amazed to see the youth show up and spend the day dancing, learning the history of folk dance, and getting to know the other members of CIOFF.






Jeff Driggs


We were so grateful for our featured performer and teacher. Jeff Driggs is a phenomenal clogger, and was able to teach all different levels of traditional clogging to our CIOFF USA youth members. Jeff is from the East Coast, has been clogging since he himself was a youth, and has taught workshops and had competitions in every single one of the 50 states.







Piero Gongora


We were blessed to have another special guest performer and teacher, Piero Gongora, who taught us amazing and intricate dances from Peru. The youth learned the history and meaning of these dances, as well as learning the history of multiple musical instruments, including the Cajon.





Finally, we were able to collaborate with Brigham Young University, and attend their show, The Festival of Nations. They do an amazing job at showcasing so many different countries' culture and traditions, and involoving the youth in remembering these traditions.

The youth newsletter shares updates and highlights activities that encourage engagement and learning among young people. It shows how communication helps build awareness and participation. I once struggled to keep up with multiple academic tasks at the same time. I turned to assignment writing service UK during that period to manage workload better. It made me understand that staying organized is key when handling several responsibilities together. nice post

Youth newsletters keep the next generation informed. As a PhD student who works part-time at Last-Minute Assignments, I ignored such things in college and regretted it. I was so buried that I'd beg someone to finish My computer science Assignment just to have time to read. Your June 2026 issue is a gift. Thank you for that. Young people need their own news. Grateful for the effort. Keep them curious and connected. Seriously, my younger self would have benefited. My students will get this link. Here's to raising engaged citizens, one newsletter at a time. Keep going. Cheers.
