21 Share the Joy of Dance, Music & Song CDSS Summer Camps 2015 July August Sing Dance Play Connect Learn Enjoy We believe in the joy and strength that dance, music and song bring to people, and we see our summer camp programs as a place for skill building, learning and sharing, and having fun. The feeling of community and laughter and learning, so evident at a camp week, whether it's Pinewoods, Ogontz or Timber Ridge, and whether your passion is contras and squares, English country dance, singing songs up into the sky, making the room rock with your music, or hanging with friends that feeling will go home with you. The skills learned and connections made at camp can last a lifetime and enrich lives. Adults love it, kids thrive on it. This we know. If you've been to our camps before, you know what we're talking about. If this will be your first year, you'll go home thinking, "They were right!" Join us this summer. Connect with others who love what you love. Learn from them. And take that enjoyment with you to share. photos: Zöe Madonna Country Dance & Song Society celebrating our Centennial in

In essence it means that our club agrees to pay at least union scale to the performers in those concerts, including house concerts, for which we are the primary sponsor. Our agreement does not cover non-concert events such as sing-arounds and weekends, nor does it cover concerts featuring our own club members and concerts where we are a cosponsor but from which we receive no income.
