CDSSP is one of the oldest English folk dance groups in the U.S. and is a branch of the Country Dance & Song Society. See our history page for more information.

We organize social English country dancing for all and twice-yearly English country dance weekends (see the schedule page). We also have a performance team, and are willing to collaborate with interested people and organizations to bring English dancing to a wider audience (contact us).
