2025 Clogger of the Year - Denise Masters

Denise is no stranger to the Texas clogging community. She comes from a family of cloggers and Texas Clogging Council volunteers. Following in the footsteps of her parents, Denise holds positions alongside her son on both the TCC Board and Rally Committee. She has served for four years as the elected Treasurer of the TCC and has volunteered as the Finance Vice Chair on the TCC Rally Committee. Additionally, Denise serves as a family administrator of the Moeller Disability Scholarship that was originally established by her father, the late Mr. Bill Moeller.

In addition to her contributions to the TCC, Denise also helps promote clogging by volunteering as the registration host at Double Toe Jam. If you’ve ever attended DTJ, there’s a good chance that she is the one who met you with a smile at the registration counter. Her willingness to help out goes beyond official service roles. Need glue because the tap came off your shoe? Perhaps you need duct tape, an extension cord, or something else? If someone on site doesn’t have it, Denise will be among the first to offer to run and get it for you. Why? Because she values Texas clogging and wants to help ensure everyone has a great time at clogging events.

Denise is a member of the Brazos Valley Cloggers, but you won’t find her performing with the group. Despite knowing how to clog, she can be found behind the scenes, assisting the team’s director, Jean Moeller, as needed. This is similar to her efforts for the TCC. You can always find Denise volunteering to help wherever it’s needed, but she never expects anything in return and seeks no credit for her volunteerism. She truly is a worthy recipient of the recognition ‘Clogger of the Year’. Congratulations Denise!
