The goals of the CDSS Centennial Tour are:

  • Using the CDSS Centennial brand/credibility to help increase local and regional visibility, generate enthusiasm, and draw more participants to a chosen community's offerings

  • Significant National and International exposure, through our website (www.cdss.org) and other Centennial media outlets, reaching our constituents and beyond, to boost local pride and foster community growth

  • A connection to the broader National and International dance/music/song community through the "hub" of CDSS

  • Master workshop leaders and performers, leading workshops and master classes to help local participants, performers, leaders, and organizers increase skills and gain confidence, aiming to leave a long-lasting positive impact on each tour community's local dance/music/song community

  • CDSS is partnering with each chosen community to create the series of events that make up a Centennial Tour stop in that community

  • CDSS is providing the financial backing to make a Centennial tour stop happen in a chosen community

  • CDSS is partnering with each chosen community to pool regional resources, strengthening connections between communities that share similar goals

  • CDSS is partnering with each chosen community to create access to Tour events throughout its region
