Would you like to join the LCFD board? |
We're looking to fill out a slate of candidates for our fall election.
The commitment is about 6 board meetings a year (we've been meeting every other month on Zoom) for a two-year term starting in the new year 2023. Some communication happens outside of meetings; we've been using a platform called Discord to keep our conversations organized by topic. Participating in additional projects or committees is optional. If you're interested or would like more information, send an email to info@lcfd.org . |
The Lavender Country and Folk Dancers (LCFD), started in 1988, sponsors, supports, and promotes a nation-wide network of gender-free community dances and dance camps. We are committed to providing safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community and their allies through participatory community dance and gender-role free calling. While our dance focus is primarily Contra & English Country Dance, we introduce and incorporate many traditional dance styles at our twice-yearly signature dance camps.
