Registration:
To assure your immediate confirmation, register early and register with a “dance buddy.” A dance buddy is simply someone who is dancing the other role – leading if you’re following or vice versa. This carries no social obligation but helps insure that everyone has a partner during the workshops. Be sure to indicate the name of your dance buddy when you register.
