Membership
Membership in CDR is open to all. Our members receive a host of benefits, and their membership dues help support the annual costs of the organization (including insurance, web hosting, and advertising). Additionally, as a member organization of the Country Dance & Song Society (CDSS), our members also receive benefits from CDSS. Our membership runs from September 1 to August 31, with the annual membership drive in September; however, we encourage you to join any time.
Member Benefits
- New! a newly designed button by contra dancer and designer Kristin Ward.
- Early registration for special CDR events.
- Eligibility for annual CDR scholarships and matching CDSS camp scholarships.
- Eligibility to vote at the annual meeting.
- Eligibility to participate on Planning Committees and to serve on the Board of Directors.
- The great satisfaction of knowing that you are supporting our local traditional dance & live music community.
We’re adjusting our membership rates for the first time in over 20 years. With more tiers, we’re more in line other organizations, while still providing affordable levels for everyone. Weekly admission prices pay for the hall, musicians and the caller, but other costs, like insurance, marketing, the website, and occasional equipment maintenance are supported through dues and donations. Please support CDR in whatever way works for you.
Membership Tiers
- Supporter: $50+ per year.
- Family: $30 per year.
- Individual: $20 per year.
- Student: $10 per year.

Note: our membership year runs from September 1 to August 31. (If you choose to join mid-year, membership can be prorated according to the number of full months remaining until September; ask a volunteer at the dance.)
