A Note About the Events Calendar:

We have rebuilt our events calendar and we'd like your help in populating it! You may add special events, weekends, and weeks, and dance series — click here to add an event.

Need help adding events? We've set up a tutorial for adding events, and you'll find it here. It explains the process for setting up single and repeating events in detail, and includes screen shots.

Though we would prefer that you enter your own events, you can also email your information (name of event, date/s, location, short description, and whether or not you are a CDSS Group Affiliate) to events@cdss.org and we'll add your events.

CDSS Responds to COVID-19

Updated May 21, 2020

It’s time for us to do what we do best: take care of each other. Here are our recommendations for participants and organizers, as well as helpful links.

Let’s Talk About Reentry: Recommendations and Q&A for Organizers
Wednesday, July 8, 7:30-9:00 p.m. EDT
We’ll address the BIG questions on organizers’ minds: How can we keep our communities safe in a pandemic? When can we dance and sing in the same place again? What does it mean to be a dance/music/song organizer when we can’t be together?
Register online by July 6. See more info about this and previous Web Chats. Questions? Send us email.
