Other Registration Info

 Who Gets In
There is no lottery and no gender balancing, so sign up early to secure your space. Registrations will be recorded in order of receipt. Registration is not complete until payment is received.

 Work-Trade
We can provide a partial discount if you're willing to help out (and miss some dancing): $95 for 4 hours of work. Work-traders should expect to plan their work-trade commitment with our coordinator in advance of the weekend.

If you are interested in more work for a bigger discount, let us know on your registration form or email us and we will get in touch.

 Cancellation / Refund Policy
  • Through July 15, we will refund your registration amount minus a $20 cancellation fee ($10 for youth).
  • No refunds after July 15 unless we can fill your slot.
