<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Hi there,
Thought you might be interested in this special session
for dance organizers this summer (in conjunction with CDSS's English
& American Week at Pinewoods.) 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

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.

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.

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. Gaye & Shawn
