Resources for Participants
CDSS Recommendations for Participants
For Participants (dancers, singers, musicians, etc.)
Be prepared for in-person events to continue to be cancelled or postponed. Remember that having to cancel an event can be a financial hardship for your local organization. If a special event you care about is cancelled and you’re in a position to do so, consider allowing the organization to keep all or part of your registration fee to cover non-refundable facility deposits and provide support for cancelled callers, musicians, and sound engineers, and other talent. You can also support artists by purchasing their merchandise. And please consider making a larger donation to your local organization this year.
Please initiate self-quarantine and refrain from social interaction if:
- You have any flu-like symptoms, including fever, cough, or difficulty breathing.
- You returned from travel in the last 3 weeks to an area with sustained local transmission (not just a travel ban/warning). Read the travel advisories from the CDC and Government of Canada.
- You have had close physical contact with a person currently under investigation for COVID-19, or who is a confirmed case of COVID-19.
Many people in our fold are at higher risk, by virtue of their age, their compromised immunity, or other issues. Even if you are not at risk yourself, diligently adhering to these preventative measures could save lives.

While so many of us are mourning the temporary loss of our favorite dance and song events, for thousands of callers, musicians, singers, and sound technicians, the cancelling of these events has resulted in a significant loss of work and income. We believe that our community is one of the best in the world at supporting its members; now is the time to lift each other up!
Let’s show these talented folks our love! Click on a link below to send some kindness, business, or funds to the callers, musicians, singers, and sound technicians who make our lives so sweet. And check out our growing calendar of online events!
(In case you’re wondering, we did look into the possibility of establishing a charitable relief fund, but the IRS would require that we implement needs assessments and maintain a lot of records, which would ultimately result in restrictions and limitations on the funds. By connecting donors directly to artists, we are able to reduce additional administrative burden on the artists, foster strong community connections, and keep the IRS happy! Plus, donating directly to an artist will get funds to them much faster!)
Freelancers are listed below in random order for fairness's sake.

I'm grateful to be a part of this CDSS family in these strange times. As a full-time caller and teaching-artist-in-the-schools, I have seen several months of work disappear, and am spending this time developing resources for teachers and callers. I hold hope for schools to reopen in the fall, and for humans of all ages to risk dancing together again. Thank you for any support you send my way, from a PayPal tip to an email note. It will fortify my hopefulness, until we can join up hands again.

I have been whole heartedly performing and teaching for 40 years. For 25 years I have loved playing fiddle for contra dances in the San Francisco Bay Area. The bands include Luceo, Mercury Rising, Swinging Chickens, Bandemonium! and Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
To thank the dance community, I would be happy to send you, gratis, a recording of one of my energetic live dances (until I run out of CD’s).
I’m available for online fiddle lessons.

I'm grateful to CDSS for drawing our collective attention to the ways that this crisis affects various individuals in our dance, music, and song communities. As a single parent whose primary income relies on dance leadership, I'm curious about what changes I'll make in the coming months. Like others, I trust in resilience and ingenuity. As a longtime organizer, I'm aware of the vulnerability of volunteer-run organizations, especially those whose finances have little or no margin. I'm also aware that those of us in the CDSS network are especially fortunate---we have strong social networks and we know how to take care of each other. Too many people in our towns, states, regions, and nations do not. I hope we all reach out to support our local communities in every way we are able.

I am currently not in a financially precarious situation, so no need to send me any checks! (Dark chocolate would be appreciated though.). However, purchasing my merchandise will help me out (NEW Alchemy CD, other CDs, felted hats and origami crane earrings).
Email me if you are interested in any of the merchandise,
A huge thanks to CDSS for providing this space for us, and for all the work they do. I am grateful to the dance community and dancers around the country who have been so generous with registration fees to cancelled events. I miss you all very much.
I am doing a weekly Facebook Live stream called “In the Moment.” The dance world gathers together every Tuesday night at 7 pm EDT, and watches me play along with audio recordings that my bandmates and other musicians send me that week.

In this time when all of our performance venues are closed --- schools, libraries, historic sites, churches --- it is an amazing thing to see the community coming together in this new & positive way. We are currently learning how to do live streaming, in the hopes that our first effort will be to bring the community together in a virtual sing-along this coming May Day. Cannot miss out on that tradition after 40-some years of annual celebration with our Morris Teams on Thornden Hill!

I hope you are all taking care of yourselves in these tough times - I miss seeing you all in the dance and music community! I've been fortunate to play all over the country full-time since 1994, with the best musicians and callers in our thriving scene. I am in deep gratitude to have had the opportunity to perform in our community and I cherish every moment that I'm able to do so. Thank you so much for the support, and I look forward to seeing you all on the dance floor as soon as we are able!

Landslide and Spindriftin' are contra dance CDs, Excited States is Scottish dance music - but all three are fun listening. Thank you for your support!
I am not currently in financial need, so no need to send direct support. But purchasing my band’s CDs will help me out. And check out BACDS.org for info on various on-line concerts & events to support SF Bay Area musicians.
Huge thanks to CDSS for providing this space for us, and for all the work they do. I am grateful to the dance community and dancers around the country who have been keeping afloat while dancing is cancelled. Hope to play for real live dancers again soon!

Hi All! Missing everyone during this time, these dances mean so much to us and together we are a great community! While I am very involved in weekly dances and festivals, this income is not my primary source, but it is helpful. I use my own funds for high quality sound gear and the upkeep, any little bit of support is appreciated.
Please consider supporting full-time musicians first!
Thank you!...and thank you to CDSS for the support!
Can't wait to see you all dancing again soon!

Before the virus, I was teaching 3 clogging/flatfoot classes at 3 different levels. I was offering my first weekend workshop in Asheville April 17-19 which will most likely be cancelled and I'm scheduled to teach a weekend in Floyd, VA June 26-28. Floyd won't invest time in marketing until closer to the date, which makes sense since we don't know if it can happen. I've also had to cancel the classes that I offer through Airbnb experiences and lost 3 students Friday. I've lost >50% monthly income.

Please especially consider financially supporting any of the full-time artists listed in this directory!

I recognize more than ever what a gift it is to make my life and living through music and dance shared in community, even though I am facing great financial loss right now. I have just the music to see you through these hard times: I very recently released an album of original songs of hope and heartbreak, resistance and rising, love and loss. I would thrilled to share this new music with my CDSS family (details for all recordings on my website) and would gratefully receive any donations.

- Hire or recommend me as an online music teacher in:
- Ear Training
- Music Theory
- Composition
- Finding Vocal Harmonies by Ear
- Finding Chords by Ear (Ukulele, or any chordal instrument you already play)
- Commission me to write a tune or song.
- Hire me to do some audio editing (I use Pro Tools.)
- Let me know you'd like to be on my mailing list by emailing me. I will be scheming more ways to make music for people in my home and would love to keep you up to date.
Thanks again, and be well. My music and dance community is very much on my mind and in my heart these days.

Thanks to CDSS for thinking of us freelancers! As an Irish musician, St. Patrick’s Day season was a financial washout. More importantly, I work each day as a freelance preschool music, dance, and theater teacher, in eight schools and two libraries. Only one has offered to pay me - for two weeks. Any amount you can contribute to the cause of future singers, dancers, and thespians, I would greatly appreciate (and my family would, too). Thank you! We’re in this together!

I am available to teach virtual guitar lessons - contact me if you'd like to give it a try. I'm also always looking for ways to get my music to more sets of ears. Consider buying some of my CDs or putting them in the soundtrack of your next blockbuster movie. I will probably not have any performance income for most of this year, but I'm not the only bread winner in the family. If you want to give money directly, please do so to those who have no other means of supporting themselves.
I would be incredibly grateful if you can buy any of my recordings, for yourself or as gifts for your friends. Download from where ever you buy music or order from my website. Albums include a collection of original waltzes, three CD's from Elixir, two from the Morrison Brothers Band, and one each from Night Watch and House Red. Give them to everyone you know if you want!
