I've been to CDSS camps several times and always found them amazing - gourmet food, lovely setting, great swimming, really fun people, and fantastic music/dance. Gaye Fifer is a splendid leader and I am confident she's putting together a topnotch course. There's lots more info in the email from Gaye & Shawn below, and remember to check out the generous scholarships (outlined on the CDSS website.) Feel free to forward to anyone else you think might be interested in this great opportunity. Cheers, Chrissy Fowler Belfast, ME ======================= List-Post: [email protected] Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2014 15:54:31 -0400 Subject: Dance Organizers Course at Pinewoods From: <a href="mailto:[email protected]"; target="_blank">[email protected]</a> We’d like to make you especially aware of a course that is being offered at Pinewoods Dance Camp this summer: Dance Organizers Course. It will be offered during English & American Week, Aug. 23-30, 2014. This course is designed for people involved in and committed to organizing in their home dance community (contra,square, English, adult or family). We plan to discuss and strategize about issues that affect local dances. There will be time for sharing, questioning, collaborating and connecting. We will devote time to interviewing “experts” at camp, creating solutions to “problems”, brainstorming, practicing and giving feed-back. We will create a network of support, and a toolkit of ideas, that each participant will be able to take home. <a href="http://www.cdss.org/community-leaders.html"; target="_blank">http://www.cdss.org/community-leaders.html</a> You may know people in your local community who are “up and coming” leaders: folks who have stepped into leadership roles, folks who think about the good of the community, folks who share their ideas & time. You may be wanting to spread the base of leadership in your community and wanting to improve the leadership skills of interested and willing dancers. The course is also useful to people wanting to start a dance or wanting to include dance in another local or regional event. We will gather twice each day. Though we will invite guest speakers/facilitators from the English & American Dance Week staff and beyond, most of the wisdom will be shared by participants, through panel discussions, breakout sessions, brainstorming sessions, and other guided activities. For the rest of the day and evening, the wonderful resources of English & American Dance Week are yours for the picking. Pinewoods Camp is a beautiful setting, creating a retreat where one can immerse oneself in nature, music & dance. Attendees will be able to focus on issues in their dance community in a way their busy lives at home might not allow. http:<a href="http://www.cdss.org/pinewoods.html"; target="_blank">www.cdss.org/pinewoods.html</a> We would like to encourage you to send someone to this course from your local community. CDSS can help provide some scholarship assistance for applicants. The money can go even further if your local community helps to match the funds from CDSS. We believe that this could be a wonderful opportunity for your community, and for the individual you help send to camp. Please let us know if you have any questions or want to discuss this further with us. Don’t wait to take advantage of this possibility! Thanks.
