Welcometo the Irish Music and Dance Association's website!
Become a Member of the Irish Music and Dance Association!
It's time to renew your membership in IMDA.
In the past, people have often become “paying” IMDA members ($20 for individuals, $25 for families and organizations) simply to indicate their support for the IMDA’s programs and activities, including the annual St. Patrick’s Day Celebration and Day of Irish Dance at the Landmark Center, the IMDA Workshop Tent at the Irish Fair of Minnesota, the “IMDA Honors” series, the IMDA Educational Grant Program, the “Decade of Dance” awards.
While that will still be the primary motivation for many, all of our new and renewed 2017 members will also receive the following: * A one-year (January to December 2017) subscription to the IMDA’s monthly email newsletter, which features (among many other things) Amy Shaw’s “Tune of the Month,” Will Kenny’s always-fascinating articles about theIrish language, Sherry Ladig’s book reviews, Brian’s Miller’s “Northwoods Songs” series, and a comprehensive list of local Irish music performances and cultural events in the newsletter’s “Community Calendar” section. * A “Proud Member of the Irish Music and Dance Association” 3” x 10” bumper sticker or 4” x 4” decal. * An IMDA "Hooley in the Heartland" 2-CD set ($18 value), featuring 30 tracks of songs and tune sets performed by local bands and musicians, including Daithi Sproule, Norah Rendell and Brian Miller, Laura MacKenzie, the Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band, the Irish Brigade, Tom Dahill, The Hounds of Finn and many others. * “Priority listing” in our popular on-line Community Resources Directory, which is frequently used by people who are seeking local Irish musicians, bands, dancers and entertainers for performances, ethnic festivals, wedding receptions, corporate events, etc. * Public recognition in a “New or Renewed Members” section of future IMDA newsletters and in related posts to the IMDA web site and Facebook page.
