In order to continue paying our musicians and callers a reasonable fee for their talent and travel costs, the Board has voted to raise the dance admission and membership rates, effective June 1. Please note the significant discount offered to members; we encourage everyone to become a member of Shepherdstown Music and Dance. Your membership is a vote of support for the dances, music weekends and concerts that we all work hard to provide. Keep the sound of music and dancing feet alive by becoming a member and save money in the process.

As of June 1 the following dance admission and membership dues will apply:

Dance admission will be $7/members; $10/non-members
Children under the age of 12 will be charged $5
Individual membership will be $15/year
Family membership will be $25/year
