Scholarships for CDSS Dance Camps 2026!

The Friday Night Dancers (FND) are offering scholarships to CDSS dance camps! These camps are a paradise on earth, plus music and dancing! FND scholarships which will be matched by CDSS, so the scholarships should pay for most if not all of the cost of the camp. Admission to these camps is competitive, but FND has two free automatic admissions for two recipients. If you are applying with a friend for the two CDSS scholarships, please let us know. FND will not be able to pay for transportation to the camps. 

The application process is simple–fill out this easy form.

Who are we looking for? People who are good members of the Glen Echo dance community. Do you come dancing regularly? You qualify!! Have you done a workshop to learn calling? Do you volunteer at the dance? Sweep? Do you call dances or play in the open band? Are you interested in learning to play contra dance music? Let us know in the application. We have a preference for people starting their dance journeys, but we do not know how many will apply, so all are encouraged to apply.

As a recognized non-profit, FND cannot award scholarships to FND board members or their families.

The deadline for CDSS dance camps are coming up soon, so please apply by March 10, 2026.
