What Country Dance and Song Society Inc does
Mission
Teaching English and American dancing, traditional and historical, for the great enjoyment it brings, and preservation of this form of social dancing. CDNY is part of the Country Dance and Song Society, an organization that, through its resources, programs and enthusiasm, celebrates and preserves traditional English and Anglo-American dance, music and song, promotes their new expression, connects people who enjoy them, and supports communities where they can continue to thrive.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Leisure & Recreational Activities Programs: Normal programming consists of English Country dances drawing 30 to 60 participants at each weekly event to learn and join dances. Dances are both traditional and modern. CDNY normal programming also includes American contradances, drawing 50 to 80 participants to each event. Special programs provided a chance to learn and enjoy dancing and the related music. Live music is a highlight of every event, with small musical groups of local and nationally known musicians. Dance instruction is by both local and nationally known callers. The organization has approximately 140 members and numerous additional attendees at individual events.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $139k to $241k (+73%).
