Centennial Greetings

It's our Centennial Year! Read messages from our Executive Director, President, and Executive & Artistic Director Emeritus:

Welcome to the CDSS celebration of "Local Heroes!" These are people who quietly *make things happen* for everyone else. And we want to give every community in our dance/music/song universe the opportunity to recognize and thank them, publicly, with joyful gratitude. Scroll down to read the wonderful stories and testimonies that have been coming in from all over the place - the locations of the local heroes are shown in the map on the right.

We hope you're inspired to recognize someone in your own community. Share a story about your own local hero here!
