The CDSS Mission

We connect and support people in building and sustaining vibrant communities through participatory dance, music, and song. We steward the living traditions of English country dance, contra and square dance, morris and sword dance, and the music that is an integral part of these traditions.

The mission of CDSS camp programs is to…

  • Explore living and evolving traditions in an immersive setting with high-caliber staff.
  • Foster a safe and inspiring space for teaching, learning, and skill-building.
  • Cultivate a welcoming and inclusive intergenerational community that integrates dancers, singers, and musicians within a satisfying program, with room for all to contribute.
  • Support participants in developing skills and connections that will help them strengthen their local communities.
