Hello Shared Weight callers, I know most of the conversation on this list is very much caller focused. However, I did want to share the May issue of CDSS's Shop Talk as I know many of you are also organizers and even if are not, you may still be interested in some of the topics in this issue. Take a look below...there are announcements about a web chat focusing on creating safe dance communities as well as news about a collaborative project between Shared Weight, some of the other traditional dance/music listservs, and CDSS. Here's a link to the issue: https://conta.cc/2HlZOXA Shop Talk is free and you can sign up here to receive it: https://www.cdss.org/resources/how-to/organizers#shop-talk With thanks!
