Dette er CSD CSD - Callers' Society Denmark
blev grundlagt af nogle entusiastiske Callere i Nordjylland den 3. april 1993 som et alternativ til den eksisterende Caller Association, DACT (grundlagt 1989).
Medlemsantallet er vokset hvert år siden indtil det toppede i 2002 med 134 medlemmer. I dag er der 115 medlemmer. (December 2006)
Medlemmerne fordeler sig med 38 kvindelige og 81 mandlige (2005). 36 kvindelige og 79 mandlige (2006). Bestyrelsen består af et kvindeligt medlem samt fire mandlige medlemmer.
Da Round Dance for så vidt ikke er ret udbredt i Danmark, er der er endnu ingen medlemmer registreret som Cuers.
Man kan blive medlem af CSD såfremt man enten Caller, underviser eller på anden vis medvirker til udbredelsen af Modern Western Square Dance, som den udøves efter CALLERLABS anvisninger.
CSDs hovedformål er bl.a. at fremme og støtte interesserede Callere og / eller Instruktører i deres arbejde med Modern Western Square Dance. Et andet formål er at arrangere relevante kurser for både begyndere og erfarne Callere, samt at arbejde for en bedere forståelse og samarbejde blandt medlemmerne.
I 1995 besluttede CSD at blive associeret medlem af CALLERLAB - The International Association of Square Dance Callers - hvorfra vi fem gange om året modtager informationer via nyhedsbrevet "direction".
I årene 1998 og 1999 arbejdede CSD og DACT på et projekt, som eventuelt kunne føre til en fusion. Dette forsøg mislykkedes, men fra 1998 blev der dog indledt en vist samarbejde, således DACT medlemmer kunne deltage på CSDs Callers School til den samme pris - og v.v. (DACT nedlagde sin forening i 2001.)
Den 06. november 2000 blev CSD's medlemsskab af DAASDC, Danish Association of American Square Dance Clubs, en realitet.
I forbindelse med DAASDC's dans ved generalforsamlingen i Svendborg år 2000, medvirkede 12 Callere fra CSD sammen med to Svendborg klubcallere tillige med en svensk Caller. Siden da har CSD været repræsenteret på DAASDCs Conventions.
CSD NewsLetter blev etableret i 1993 - og udgives fire gange årligt. Fra 2007 som elektronisk udgave i pdf-format. Papirudgaver kan bestilles separat.
Nogle artikler skrives på dansk, andre forekommer på engelsk. CSD NewsLetter kan også læses eller downloades på nettet. Lægges normalt på web sitet en måned efter den officielle udsendelse.
CSDs Caller Kurser har gennem årene haft mange deltagere på kursus, med bl.a. følgende Caller Coaches:
Bente Olsen (S), Paul Bristow (GB), Wayne Morvent (US), Al Stevens (D), Bengt Bula Ericsson (S), Bronc Wise (US), Jet Roberts (US), Dave Wilson (S), Birthe Madsen (DK), Lotte Vangsgaard (DK).
Sangpædagog: Lene Frederiksen (DK).
CSD Callerparade afholdes på Himmerlandsfondens Kursus- og Feriecenter i Tranum Strand blot 2.500 meter fra Vesterhavet i Jammerbugten.
I 1996 blev arrangementet overtaget af CSD efter ISDC (International Square Dance Camp).
I 2007 blev arrangementet flyttet til Stoholm Fritids og Kulturcenter, således ønsket om parketgulve i alle dansesale kunne opfyldes.
Arrangementet er en årlig begivenhed i forbindelse med Påsken, som trækker mellem ca. 200 - 300 deltagere.
Det er en 2-dages Square Dance med en Trail End Dance og et After Party med live musik.
Dette er stedet, hvor vore helt nye og nyere Callere samles med de mere erfarne Callere for at calle hele dansen. Nye Callere får her lejlighed til at calle deres første rigtige dans, og man har det rigtig sjovt alle sammen - både Callere og dansere.
Mange deltager år efter år, og dansen er så populær, at man gerne skal booke sin plads måneder i forvejen.
Vi er normalt ca. 20 callere og ca. 200 - 300 dansere. Danseprogrammerne er nu MS, PL, A-1 og A-2.
CSD Summer Square Dance. For at reducere omkostningerne til diverse kurser for medlemmerne samt for at skabe en indtægt til dette formål, har CSD fra år 2001 valgt at arrangere Summer Square Dance Weeks i Tranum i forbindelse med afholdelse af kurser. Der danses MS, Plus, A-1 og A-2 på et højt niveau. Fra 2005 også C-1. Fra 2007 blev MS sløjfet.
Dette arrangement blev ligeledes flyttet til Stoholm i 2007.
CSDs CallerTræf blev etableret i 2001. Et 3-dages seminar i efteråret med diverse indlægsholdere og et varierende indhold. Stedet for afholdelsen varieres år efter år.
Håber du har fået en lille idé om CSD.

This is CSD CSD - Callers' Society Denmark
was founded by some enthusiastic Callers in the North of Jutland on April 3, 1993, as an alternative to the existing Caller Association, DACT (founded in 1989).
The amount of members has grown every year since and it peeked in 2002 with 134 members. Today we have registered 115 members in total. (December, 2006)
Please notice there are 38 female and 81 male members (2005), 36 female and 79 male members (2006). Our board has a female and four male members.
As we hardly know Round Dance in Denmark we have no cuers registrated.
You can become a member of CSD if you are either calling, teaching, or otherwise contribute to the preservation of Modern Western Square Dance according to CALLERLAB'S definitions.
Our main purpose is to help and support our Callers and Instructors in their work with Modern Western Square Dance.
Other purposes are to do related courses (for beginners, newer, and experienced Callers) and to work for better co-operation and understanding among Callers etc.
In 1995 CSD became an Associated Member of CALLERLAB - The International Association of Square Dance Callers - who supports us with information five times a year by the newsletter "direction".
In the years 1998 and 1999 we have worked together with DACT on the project of a possible fusion, but it did not succeed. However, we were still open for some kind of co-operation. From March 1998 DACT members could join CSD's Caller School for the same fee as CSD members - and vice verse. (DACT closed down in 2001.)
As of November 06, 2000, CSD joined DAASDC, Danish Association of American Square Dance Clubs.
In conjunction with DAASDC's General Assembly 2000 Dance, this year in Svendborg, CSD had 12 Callers participating along with two Svendborg club Callers and one Caller from Sweden. Since then CSD callers have been represented at the yearly DAASDC Convention.
CSD NewsLetter was established in 1993 and the NewsLetter is published four times a year. From 2007 as electronic issues. Paper copies can be ordered.
The NewsLetter is partly written in Danish and English. On our web site you can find parts of the oldest NewsLetters and full editions of newest past editions.
CSD's Caller School has had several members participating in classes during the years - in the latest years conducted by the following Caller Coaches:
Bente Olsen (S), Paul Bristow (GB), Wayne Morvent (US), Al Stevens (D), Bengt Bula Ericsson (S), Bronc Wise (US), Jet Roberts (US), Dave Wilson (S), Birthe Madsen (DK), Lotte Vangsgaard (DK).
Singing-master: Lene Frederiksen (DK).
CSD Callerparade is our yearly event in Easter - located at Tranum Strand by the North See in Northern Jutland.
In 1996 the arrangement was transferred to CSD from ISDC (International Square Dance Camp).
In 2007 we moved the arrangement to Stoholm Fritids og Kulturcenter to have all the dance floors with parquet.
It's a 2-day Square Dance plus a Trail End Dance and an After Party with a live duo band.
This is where our new and newer Callers get together with the more experienced Callers to call the entire dance. New Callers get to call their very first real dance, and we have such great fun together - both Callers and dancers.
Many come year after year and the dance is very popular. Normally you will have to book months in advance.
At the dance we are about 20 Callers and 200 - 300 dancers. The dance programs are at present MS, PL, A-1 and A-2.
CSD Summer Square Dance. To reduce the costs for the course members in general we are as of 2001 arranging Summer Square Dance weeks in conjunction with the courses where we hope to get an income partly covering the costs of the Caller Coaches.
The dance programs are MS, Plus, A-1, and A-2 at a high level. From 2005 C-1 is danced as well. In 2007 MS was dropped. The arrangement was moved to Stoholm in 2007.
CSD CallerSeminar. This is a 3-day Caller Seminar established in 2001. The seminar is conducted by various Callers and the program changes year by year.
Takes place at various locations.
Hope I have given you an idea of CSD.
