Country Dance & Song Society
Individuals nourished and communities strengthened by dancing, singing, and making music together
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. Learn more
